Beyond our Veterans
We fervently thank our veterans each year for their service. But maybe we need to honor their families more, too.
We hold parades for our veterans in Long Beach, in New York City, and across America.
We owe them so much. If they hadn't defended our country so successfully, we might not be able to read a newspaper like this.
But service is more than putting on a uniform and going off to serve.

Families of our veterans serve too.
They support their loved ones, their kids, their sibs, going off to serve for America.

They worry about their health and their safety.
Life for veterans' families is just not the same for the rest of Americans. It's very personal. And when the news from war is the worst, their pain is unfathomable.
Maybe we need to think more Beyond our Veterans.
Be well,
