Happy Veterans Day
Happy Veterans Day! From all of us at
Schwartz Financial, we want to say “Thank you” to our nation’s veterans. We
want to let them know how much they mean to us. We recognize that they have
given us gifts we can never repay. The gift of their time. The gift of their
talents. The gift of their bodies, their minds, their strength, and their
sacrifice.
Most
of all, we want them to know:
We Will Never Forget
General Douglas
MacArthur once said, “Old soldiers never die, they just fade away.” But
it shouldn’t have to be that way—certainly not during a soldier’s own lifetime.
The sad fact is that most of us probably spend more time thinking about
celebrities than we do soldiers. But every time we close our eyes and think;
every moment we take to read about, listen to, or even imagine what it
was like to serve in the steamy jungles of Vietnam, the hard highlands of
Korea, the brutal deserts of Iraq, or the rugged mountains of Afghanistan;
every prayer we pray or song we sing …
All of it
ensures that our veterans will never, ever fade away.
So this
Veterans Day, let’s all take the time to say “Thank you” any way we can. Maybe
it’s through a service project. Maybe it’s leaving a tray of cookies on the
doorstep of the veteran down the street. Maybe you will follow our office lead
and adopt a Veteran family for the holidays, supply a Turkey Dinner for a
Veteran’s family that is not having a good year. Maybe it’s simply going to the library to
check out a book on a conflict we don’t know much about.
But whatever we
do, let’s all make a commitment to our veterans: that their deeds will never be
forgotten. That they will never feel unappreciated. That they never fade away.
From all of us at
Schwartz Financial, we wish you—and any veterans in your life—a happy Veterans
Day.
