I posted this same sentiment last year on this day. I can think of nothing stronger or more appropriate to say to those who deserve our utmost respect, so I will simply repeat my heartfelt thanks and hope that it is enough.

Thanks go out to a myriad of family members for their service to this great country of ours…including no less than five uncles (4 of whom were brothers). But a very special thanks go to my Dad and my Brother. I have respect for you both in so many ways, this being just one of them. I love you guys. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for your service.

to family, friends, and ALL who have served — thank you
