Veterans Day--not the usual holiday. We didn't do anything special. I didn't even leave the house. This holiday is not one we celebrate with gifts or going to a parade or making a cake. We should, however. My husband is a veteran, 20-year career in the Air Force. My father also spent 20 years in the Air Force, so I am familiar with the military mission and lifestyle. I appreciate all those who have served and are serving in the armed forces. Seriously. It's a tough career choice.
My husband did get to work at home today with the holiday. He works on the base as a defense contractor--still serving the military in some way. I spent time grading assignments and completing online courses. Yes, I still have to take learn--my education is never complete. I have a little more to do finish the 3rd in a series of courses.
As this day winds down, I think of all those who aren't home with their families, enjoying a quiet dinner and relaxing in front of the TV. Stay safe and thank you.
I commend them for what they do. I don't know if I would be that brave. My boyfriend is a veteran so today I cooked him a big breakfast with all his favorites. He really enjoyed it.
