To the editor:

I am writing this, because yesterday was Veteran's Day and I want to say thank you to those who deserve it.

Thank you to the veterans who served before me. Thank you for paving the road to make a better military. Thank you for enduring hardships I can't even imagine. And thank you for making sacrifices only few will ever know.

Thank you to my brothers and sisters in arms who serve alongside me. Thank you for making sure our families sleep soundly at night. Thank you for supporting me through good times and bad. And thank you for covering the sector that I can't see.

Lastly, thank you to the veterans who have yet to serve. Thank you for picking up where I leave off. Thank you for continuing the fight when I cannot. And thank you for continuing the traditions and excellent reputation the United States Soldier has carried on for the last 200 plus years. Thank you ALL! Johnny Maynard Sergeant First Class United States Army
