No I am not

I am not a veteran, but my father is, and I have thanked him since I understood what it meant.

My husband could not go into the military, so he always supported the military. He took care of their families on the homefront, so they wouldnt worry, and he was honored to do it.

Thank you to all the veterans out there. Whether you were drafted, or did it by choice, thank you! Thank you for your service, and for always protecting us!!

Not a veteran but I have a huge list of veterans in our family:

Husband - Navy
Husband's grandfather, uncle, cousin - Army
My father, grandfather - Army
My brother is currently serving in the Air Force
One of our oldest and dearest friends - Marines

There's also my husband's former shipmates plus almost all of his current coworkers are also veterans.

From having been a military wife, I can safely say that any and all thanks are greatly appreciated more than we can ever express. It really does mean a great deal to know that we have that support and gratitude.
