Ordinary people with the demands of everyday life often forget the sacrifice of our military members. As we pay the rent or mortgage and go shopping and raise our families, we take for granted our relative security and prosperity compared to the rest of the world. Military folks, however, know all too well the chaos and turmoil of trouble spots because they witnessed it firsthand. May is National Military Appreciation Month and a fitting time to recognize the sacrifices American service members and their families make for freedom. Our veterans deserve and need continuing confirmation of the value of their service. Just say "Thank You".
