๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ What does Veterans Day mean to you and what is a memory from your days of service.  

I see Veteransโ€™ Day as a day to honor the sacrifices of so many who have gone before, and to remember the importance of serving others and being part of something larger  than oneself.  There are more wonderful memories than I could possibly recount. However, one thing that I always think about in regard to my time in the Marine Corps is the relationships I built and all the outstanding people with whom I had the honor to serve.
