Like many, I used to get Memorial Day and Veteran's Day confused, not clear about the difference. Memorial Day honors those who died while in service. Veteran's Day honors all those who served, living or dead.
At TLC and all over our country we deal with many whose lives were changed forever by their service. Many of those with us today suffer from loss of limbs, PTSD, homelessness. And for many of them alcohol or drugs are the only answer for their painful memories. Others simply escape by taking thier own lives.
Today we should take a moment to reflect on the monumental sacrifice our veteran's have made - both the dead and the living.
If it weren't for them we wouldn't have the freedoms we enjoy today to pursue our lives as we choose.
