To all the vets out there, a heartfelt thanks for your service. Even though we only have one day set aside for it, we obviously think of it often. If not for you, we might not have been able to vote this week.
Also, although it's Remembrance Day in some countries, that's a different thing. In the US, we have Memorial Day for that. But believe me, you other veterans, we appreciate your service every bit as much!
One little personal note:
If you're like me and always feel a little embarrassed to take advantage of a discount offered to vets, please go ahead and do it. I have a friend who owns a restaurant and another who owns a small store. Both of them have told me many times that it makes them feel good when they have the opportunity to give a veteran a discount.
