Adventures by Mom

Everything you need to know, but nobody tells you about when it comes to motherhood, marriage, and life in general.

Veterans Day Gratitude

The part that I really noticed was all who have served and their families.

All of the creators at Adventures By Mom have very special veterans in their lives. Both of my grandfathers and my dad served in the US Military Forces. I was scrolling through FaceBook when this Alex&Ani calendar came across my feed. The part that I really noticed was “all who have served and their families.”

A day to show gratitude to those who protect our freedoms. . . and their families. The and their families part had not entered my mind before. It always does on Memorial Day, but not Veterans Day. A chance to recognize the challenges of those left at home, or hopping from military post to military post as a spouse. When my dad was drafted and sent to Vietnam, my mom was left home with a newborn daughter. Thankfully, she had a strong support system to offer help when needed. We were blessed that my dad, her hubby, safely made it home.

I thought about the other parents I know, and grandparents, who have children in the military now. The parents of soon-to-be graduating seniors in high school who’ve already enlisted, or applied to military colleges. I know they are so very proud of the choices their child/grandchild is making. I also know there is a worry that can’t be truly and accurately described.

Thank you. Veterans – thank you for your service, dedication, and loyalty. Families- thank you for the worry, the sacrifices, and the support you give.

Gratefully – Adventures By Mom
