For me, it serves as more of a nostalgic day that reflects both Memorial Day and Veterans Day -- it's a time where Marines focus on their brothers in arms, remembering the good, and staring off into the distance as sorrow washes over them for all of their fellow Devil Dogs who gave their lives for our freedom.
To understand a Military Veteran you must know:
We left home as teenagers or in our early twenties for an unknown adventure.
We loved our country enough to defend it and protect it with our own lives.
We said goodbye to friends and family and everything we knew.
We learned the basics and then we scattered in the wind to the far corners of the Earth.
We found new friends and new family.
We became brothers and sisters regardless of color, race or creed.
We had plenty of good times, and plenty of bad times.
We didn’t get enough sleep.
We smoked and drank too much.
We picked up both good and bad habits.
We worked hard and played harder.
We didn’t earn a great wage.
We experienced the happiness of mail call and the sadness of missing important events.
We didn’t know when, or even if, we were ever going to see home again.
We grew up fast, and yet somehow, we never grew up at all.
We fought for our freedom, as well as the freedom of others.
Some of us saw actual combat, and some of us didn’t.
Some of us saw the world, and some of us didn’t.
Some of us dealt with physical warfare, most of us dealt with psychological warfare.
We have seen and experienced and dealt with things that we can’t fully describe or explain, as not all of our sacrifices were physical.
We participated in time honored ceremonies and rituals with each other, strengthening our bonds and camaraderie.
We counted on each other to get our job done and sometimes to survive it at all.
We have dealt with victory and tragedy.
We have celebrated and mourned.
We lost a few along the way.
When our adventure was over, some of us went back home, some of us started somewhere new and some of us never came home at all.
We have told amazing and hilarious stories of our exploits and adventures.
We share an unspoken bond with each other, that most people don’t experience, and few will understand.
We speak highly of our own branch of service, and poke fun at the other branches.
Most of us don't read what we copy and paste. 🙂
We know however, that, if needed, we will be there for our brothers and sisters and stand together as one, in a heartbeat.
Being a Veteran is something that had to be earned, and it can never be taken away.
It has no monetary value, but at the same time it is a priceless gift.
People see a Veteran and they thank them for their service.
When we see each other, we give that little upwards head nod, or a slight smile, knowing that we have shared and experienced things that most people have not.
So, from myself to the rest of the veterans out there, I commend and thank you for all that you have done and sacrificed for your country.
Try to remember the good times and make peace with the bad times.
Share your stories.
But most importantly, stand tall and proud, for you have earned the right to be called a Veteran.
I’m a VETERAN!

From our members meetings last night, the VFW is going to write a check to the KY VFW Relief effort to support the Flood Victims of Eastern KY efforts. We are going to open it up to anyone else that wants to contribute either monetarily or useful items that could help the flood victims. If you or anyone you know wants to help support this cause, stop by the VFW hall today during Bingo from 0530-1000pm. We have a group doing a delivery to them Thursday so items being dropped off would need to be dropped off today. If it's monetarily, write check out VFW Post 11404 or bring by a sealed envelope and we will cross contribute funds accordingly Thanks for supporting a good cause!

The Patriots Choir did a beautiful job tonight, if you haven’t had an opportunity to hear them, you are missing out. This was a lovely tribute to all branches of the armed forces, where they sang each branches songs, and asked those in the audience that served in those branches to stand for recognition. ♥️ you will see several of our Post members standing in the video.

Another great event we were asked to be a part of, what an honor to hear the Patriots Choir as we prepare to celebrate for July 4th.
Thank you to those VFW and Auxiliary members who were able to attend tonight.
