Yes, thanks to all the veterans and especially to those serving now. As a retired vet's wife, I can tell you the road is not easy, but it is worth it. Even with cuts in our medical insurance (which, now that we are retired, hurts). I do not regret all the birthday and other holiday celebrations missed, all the difficulties of raising children with their Dad across the world. We were serving in the days before email and Skype access. I would do it again. We have such good friends from those days. Military bonds are strong and help our country stay strong.
