Dear Veteran
Jackie + David,
I know the sacrifices you make to ensure that I and those I love are safe. You spend months away from each other, and now you will spend time away from Michael. And you never complain. I'm honored to know you.
Dear Veteran
I think I have a small idea now of what I don't know. Welcome Home !
Dear Veteran
I didn't know I was too scared to do, to see, to remember what you remember. Words cannot express my feelings for you . . . just know I do care.
Dear Veteran
Thank you for your service, and I am sorry that I was very ignorant about all you do for the country and people. I would like to be on of the people who would spread the word and help people become aware of your service. Thank you again.
Dear Veteran
I realize I've lived my life not having any more than a surface level understanding of the experiences of veterans. And the more I know the more I realize how different each experience is. Though I can't begin to understand what your experience was and is, thank you for your service.
Dear Veteran
I know that I will never be able to fully grasp, understand, or appreciate all that you experienced through your service. But I do know that I am truly humbled and thankful by and for what you have done and what you continue to do. Thank you!
Dear Veteran
I certainly do not know what your experiences are or have been, but I do know that I deeply respect your choice + commitment to serve. Thank you for all that you have done, sacrificed, and dedicated your life to so that my 4-year-old daughter and I can exist freely.
Dear Veteran
We are glad you are home. I hope you feel comfortable sharing your experiences with others. You are not alone, we want to support you in returning home!
Dear Veteran
The more I interact with veterans the more I realize how selfless you are. Being out there — you didn't do it for you, you did it for your buddies — you did it for the guy right next to you.
Dear Veteran
Your sacrifices are appreciated every day. I am thankful every day for being an American, thank you for protecting & defending my freedom at places both domestic & abroad.
Dear Veteran
From the bottom of my heart: Thank you.
Dear Veteran
Please don't hid yourself or your service from society. Demand that your voice, your story is heard so that you are treated with dignity, respect + understanding that you deserve.
Dear Veteran
THANK YOU for your service. I am sorry for how your work has affected you + your family + I am sorry if you have every felt unappreciated. THANK YOU
Dear Veteran
I think it is easy for society to try and measure an individuals experience of trauma based on their own assumptions. I never realized how many different levels of trauma those serving in the military experienced.
Dear Veteran
Hearing your stories is an empowering and eye-opening experience. Thank you for sharing so we civilians can understand more.
