As Veteran's Day comes to a close, I am grateful for all the men and women that served our country. I, for one, was one of them. I am grateful to this country and to all the make it what it is. I am thankful for all the vets that served in WWII, Korean War, Vietnam, Desert Storm/Shield and all the other areas around the world that we have served.
Please take time out today, tomorrow or some time in the future to Thank a service member, as many of them have paid their dues a lot more than we can imagine.
Since, La Costa Concierge staff spends a lot of our time with the elderly and people that served, it is great to just sit back and listen to some of the stories of how things unfolded. Not all the stories are wrapped around the actual horror of the war, many of them are about the love and compassion shared by our soldiers. Many have found that being a humanitarian can help push away the dread and sorrow. Their stories are told about helping the locals in the villages, bringing food and comfort to people that have been starving most of their lives. Many stories I've heard are of the smiles that are given both by the soldiers and by the locals as they are liberated and freed from tyranny.
I would encourage you to pull up a chair and listen to what the elderly have to say. They have been on this planet a long time and many of them have wisdom and knowledge that we need in this day and age.
Thank you to all of our Veteran's. Every day we live in this free country should be considered Veteran's Day.
