To my fellow veteran friends, (read to the bottom)

As we gather on this Memorial Day, let's take a moment to honor and remember the fallen. Today, we pay tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our nation. Their bravery will never be forgotten, and their legacy lives on in our hearts.

Let's also acknowledge the mental and emotional toll that war takes on many of our comrades. For some, the battle continues long after they've returned home, as they grapple with the unseen wounds of war. In their minds, they may still be overseas, fighting the same battles they faced in combat.

As veterans, it's crucial that we support each other through these struggles. Let's reach out to those who may be struggling and offer a listening ear and a helping hand. Together, we can ensure that no one fights alone, and that every veteran receives the care and support they deserve.

On this solemn day, let's renew our commitment to looking out for one another and to honoring the memory of those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

In solidarity, we stand together. 🇺🇸

Instead of saying "thank you," consider acknowledging the sacrifice made by saying something like, "I honor and remember the fallen today," or "Their bravery will never be forgotten." These phrases convey respect and understanding for the true meaning of the day.

🌟 Honoring our Heroes 🌟

Our incoming Commander Lee Saffold just wrapped up an incredible walk for Georgia Carrying the Load alongside some amazing folks, honoring our fallen comrades who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms. 🇺🇸 Alongside them were police officers, first responders, firemen – all everyday heroes who keep us safe.

Lee shared these powerful words: "Let’s do all that we can for the families of those who sacrificed their lives for our freedom. Many left children behind, facing the world without a parent's guidance. Our veterans are struggling, our first responders are on the front lines every day. They all need our help."

The further we get away from war, the more we think about who the other people were.

Reflecting on the challenges of combat, I urge my fellow veterans to watch a video featuring Robert O'Neill, the Navy SEAL who shot Osama bin Laden.
