To Those Who Served and to their Family Members, Thank you so much for your service to the United States. As a member now of a military family, I have some idea of the level of sacrifice your service means - the time separated from beloved family, the holidays and celebrations missed, the births and deaths where you were absent, the challenges with moving, and the toll it takes on each of you.  Your service is to be commended and I hope that you feel as appreciated as you are. - Krista Newkirk

Dear veterans, I humbly bow to the courage it took for you to stand for our country. The commitment you made to military service was a commitment to all of us. Sacrifices were made, your families didn't get to see you, you missed birthdays and holidays, and you lost friends and comrades along the way. Yes, I say "Thank You" but what really needs to be said is "Your service is so valued and your sacrifices are acknowledged. You are people worthy of honor and praise to take on your shoulders the fight for liberty the nation was built upon. Be at peace." - Kaisa Tokoi
