Thanks hobbles!

This is one day I make sure I never forget. In fact I make it a point to shake ever person's hand that I know to be a veteran at work and say thank you.

Any bit of gratitude and thanks I can give definitly shows when I see their face light up by giving them recognition. I've had (other) people give me weird looks before while doing this, like "what in the world are you doing?". I have no problem telling those people that any true American wouldn't forget Veteran's day and would show their thanks. After all, that veteran's service is one reason why you have the freedoms you take for granted.
