Re: Thank you Vets!!
You are welcome sir. I agree, it really does make a difference.
My story:
I was at my church a number of years ago and they honor vets on the Sunday closest to Veteren's Day. At the start of the service, they ask all vets and people who are serving currently to please stand. I did with the others there. The service continued.
A Sunday or two later, I was leaving and a woman in her 30s who I don't know, came up to me and said "didn't you stand and show that you were a vet last Sunday"? I said yes I did. She reached out and took my hand and shook it and said "Thank you very much for your service". I was speachless, tears welled up in my eyes as she shook my hand. I said you are welcome mam, I have never been thanked personally by anyone before. That is because I had not been, and that woman changed my life. I didn't know how much I needed that.
You may never know how much it may mean to someone when you thank them for there service.
