Happy Memorial Day,
Today we celebrate our veterans and everyone who has fought for our country. We honor the bravery and courage required to put one’s country before one’s self. It is also a day to recognize those disabled by war. Estimates of those permanently injured, physically and psychologically, reach in the tens of thousands. Serving these veterans with special needs is probably more complicated than serving those born with special needs. These veterans and their loved ones can remember when they were able to function normally, and now they must rely on others. If anything, our veterans need more help, because they can remember what is was like to be normal and now know life is not the same. This Memorial Day vow to become proactive in lobbying our government to better help these people who stood in harms way to defend us all. Look for ways to better help our service men in need. It is our responsibility as citizens to do what we can to honor those who have sacrificed themselves for the rest of us.
