Today, and every day, I am thankful for those who have served, and those who are currently serving in the military. I personally only know a handful of veterans, so only have a small glimpse of the personal sacrifice given to serve our country, but I am thankful. Although I wish that we lived in a world where we did not "need" a military, where war doesn't exist, I am still so grateful for those who chose to serve... so that humble musicians like me can have our "normal" lives and don't "have to" serve. (Granted, I know I wouldn't make a very good military person, so I'm also glad that no one has to rely on me for protection -- they'd be doomed!)
I am kidding, a little, but there's actually real truth to that also. Sure, perhaps I could do what was needed, but I'm a musician...
...and as a musician, I have no idea what our veterans (and those currently serving in our military) have to live with on a daily basis. I try to imagine, but realize that I truly just don't know. I live in my isolated little world, and don't have the firsthand knowledge of what our veterans have gone through. I maybe never will, but I would like to at least express my gratitude.
This humble musician thanks you.
