Today is a list. Or at least, I think it will be. My mind is a little scattered, but if it clears up as my fingers keep typing, we might just have a true blue post on our hands. Or not.
1. Today is 11/11/11. Yes, the repeated numbers are awesome. But the first two, 11/11, mean that it's Veteran's Day, which is more important that six one's in a row. I would tell you to thank a veteran, but I'm going to be honest and say that doing that in person makes me nervous, and I might not do it myself. Don't get me wrong, I'm waaaaay grateful. But I feel weird and awkward thanking them. It doesn't help that Handsome tells me that when people thank him for his job, he feels weird and awkward. So tell me, if you know a veteran, do they appreciate being thanked? Have you thanked a veteran? Have you bought their meal or picked up their tab? Expand this out for me. And because I'm too uncertain to say it out loud, I'll put it up here:
Thank you, veterans/current military personnel, for your service to and for our country.
And thank you to your families, who make your service possible.
Don't forget the families of these men & women. As the family of a brave man in a dangerous service-type job (you know what I'm saying here, my fingers just aren't typing coherently), I know some of what it takes for him to do his job well. Those families are doing a lot, and their sacrifices are on par with the person serving.
