I got that warm fuzzy feeling the other day ya'll. I got a "Thank You" card in the mail - when I first saw it, I thought "thank you for what? I haven't sent anybody anything".
Sometime earlier this year, on another site, a Marine had posted this letter that a lady in NJ had written for Veterans (I'll see if I can find my copy and post later). Anyway, her address was posted and he asked us to drop her a line and let her know that we appreciate her support. I did and I got my very first (ever) Vetrans Day card this year from her. This lady doesn't know me from Adam's house cat and she's thanking me for something that I did over 20 years ago - I don't feel like I did anything - I was in during peacetime. The Corps did something for me the way I see it.
Anyway, thought I would share the warm fuzzy feeling with ya'll...................here's what the card said:
Thank You..................
For all that you have sacrificed
and everything you've done
To help make this world we share a safer, better one,
This comes with admiration and with gratitude to say
You're thought about so often -
and especially on this day.
Happy Veterans Day
I'm passing the "Thank You" on to Marines before me that blazed the path for me to walk on and to present Marines who are watching my house at night now. Happy Veterans Day! :beer:
