This Veterans Day and always-thank you to all who serve(d). Coincidentally, just read The Women by Kristen Hannah. She tells the story of army nurses in Vietnam, their transition home and the battles they faced in their efforts to heal. While it is fiction, she shines a light on an overlooked reality. We need to do better supporting Vets during their tours and for the rest of their lives.

Thank You for Your Service There are few things I can imagine are more daunting than having to navigate an airport in full dress uniform ... dealing with complete strangers continuously walking up to our soldiers and saying 'Thank you for your service'. The gestures are all well-meaning of course and I'm sure the soldiers are grateful for the gratitude, and yet I can imagine how it can become a bit much for the service member with each 'You're welcome' reply as they attempt to order a cup of coffee or read a book while waiting for a flight. And what about the veteran who no longer wears a uniform. Where is the public gratitude for him or her? I think there is another way to thank our Veterans. Let's do so by embodying the American values for which they chose to serve and defend. We can do that by recognizing that America is the greatest force for good in the world. That we invest in a strong military not because we are warmongers but because we understand that peace comes through strength. That while we are an imperfect nation, we strive each day to create a more perfect union for all. That it is okay to be a divided nation as long as we do not forget that we are united as Americans who all love our country. And by realizing there is a special group of people willing to put their lives on the line for all of that. The fact that they and we live as free men and women in a prosperous country is the direct result of their willingness to serve past and present. Let those truths be the unspoken but heartfelt 'Thank you for your service' to our Veterans. #ThankYouVeterans #MilitaryAppreciation #VeteransDay

Integrity is choosing your thoughts and actions based on values rather than personal gain. Loyalty: Bear true faith and allegiance to the U.S. Constitution, the Army, your unit and other Soldiers. Duty: Fulfill your obligations. Respect: Treat people as they should be treated. Selfless Service: Put the welfare of the nation, the Army and your subordinates before your own. Honor: Live up to Army values. Integrity: Do what is right, legally and morally. Personal Courage: Face fear, danger or adversity (physical or moral).
