Thank you to all that serve our country and to those that have fallen. Today isn’t just about a backyard barbecue party with family and friends, even though that is lots of fun to do, but for us to remember those brave individuals in the military that we have lost. My heart goes out to the family members of our fallen soldiers and today is a great day to also remember all those that came home but with disabilities they will have to deal with for the rest of their lives. We can’t ever turn our backs on them and as a nation, we need to support them in any way we can.
I particularly love this charity, www.petsforvets.com, it is close to my heart. In times of despair I have turned to my dogs for that comfort and unconditional love that only a dog can provide. So get out your wallet and donate what you would pay for a 6-pack of beer today. The vets will thank you! I opted for a cheap $10 a month donation since I give to several other charities but every little bit helps, remember the cost of a 6-pack can give someone in need a companion to change their whole world and save a dog from an animal shelter.
