I didn't say "thank-you" to him today. I should have. Grandpa served our country in WWII and I should have told him "thank-you" at the Remembrance Day service today. I should have thanked every single one of the veterans in attendance. We got busy talking and eating and enjoying each other's company and then we left.
I came home and was reading some articles on Remembrance Day activities that took place around the city today and realized that we should have thanked ALL the veterans for sacrificing their lives. Those who didn't perish defending the ideals of democracy witnessed the horrors of war. They lost friends and brothers in front of their eyes. They experienced deplorable living conditions. They lost their youth and were forever changed. They too sacrificed their lives. For us. And for that, I am truly thankful.
