Sir, could you tell me what you believe would be the ultimate post for an American to show their gratitude to the veterans? I have so many followers who wish to express themselves and are at a loss after Thank You.
Great question- I receive it quite frequently. My answer is really the simplest- a sincere thank you for your service goes a long way. Knowing that the society we served is appreciative really makes a difference-
Thanks!
Mike
I’ll try to do my best for them, and Thank You!!
I hope you are still operating this site? I am still referring veterans to see this blog for assistance.
I do- have taken a new career that takes up my time, but I do monitor and still occasionally post-
thanks!!
