Thank You For Your Service
Those words will never do justice to the sacrifices made by the people in our military. It is not just the loss of life but the loss of innocence, peace of mind and even limbs. The politicians who stand in front of American flags and pin them on their chests like some sort of self-awarded medal proudly say "Thank You For Your Service" every chance they get. For some it is heartfelt and true for others it is a practiced response like saying "God bless you after a sneeze".
I have lost faith in both political parties and their ability to act in any way to represent me and my fellow Americans best interests. So I now vote my conscience using more direct means. When our country pulled out of the Paris agreement I signed up to see that my power came from green energy. When TV news no longer contained the news I signed up for a subscription to support print media.
As I have been meeting veterans who are returning with symptoms of PTSD it has become clear that our political leaders DO NOT account for all the damage being done to our sons and daughters in the military. So this Memorial Day I am donating my family car to be auctioned off and all the proceeds to go to Vehicles For Veterans.
As always we are giving away tickets to veterans and their families to our music festival. If you know of any veterans who love music here is a code for free tickets to Springboard Houston June 23rd at The Four Seasons Hotel. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/springboard-houston-the-coolest-music-festival-ever-tickets-46395067897?discount=ThankYou For more info and a complete list of bands go to www.springboardhouston.com.

6 年Mr. Coffing, this is only to inform and not to offend, The Primary Photograph in your post of a cargo plane full of flag drapped pine wood boxes is a Display of The Ultimate Sacrifice not a display of Service. In my opinion, it is in poor taste. A Professional Organization/Person should never use the Ultimate Sacrifice to Promote a Cause or Event, Not even one that Benefits the Families of the Fallen.
