On this Thanksgiving when you give thanks for your family, please take minute to think about our vets who are having a hard time back here in the real world. Or those who lost an arm, leg or were burned.
22 veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan take their lives every single day, including Thanksgiving. Some are struggling to resume their life after being injured in war. I've started something new. This last Veterans day we had a soldier unable to attend the ceremony at the school due to a flare up from his war injuries. We had the kids make him some get well cards. I've attached some example to this email. If you are so inclined, I can give you names and addresses for the kids to send get well cards to these vets. You can PM me. |

I started talking to and helping a guy with his squat and deadlift form at the gym the other day. He was asking me all sorts of questions after watching me lift. He himself was working back from an injury, one sustained in combat in Afghanistan. Said they told him it would never get better and he told me he was having pain just changing his daughter's diaper. Since he started rehabbing himself (therapy wasn't working and they didn't pay for much of it), he's been able to decrease his pain enough and has started squatting and deadlifting! We spent over an hour squatting together and working on deadlift form. It was very moving having him tell a complete stranger like myself about his troubles and his life. Someone like myself that could never imagine being in combat. I've offered to write him programs when he's ready for his lifting to get stronger.
It was a very good reminder about all the sacrifices that many in this country make. Whether you agree with the war or not, their duty is to serve, and most do it quite well. |

We can't fix their hands or heads. But, we can listen and let them know their sacrifice was not forgotten. Sounds like you were right on the spot for that vet. ![]() |

Thank you to all of our Vets. I appreciate all of you that served!
Remembering my Father on this day. He served from 1939-1945 in WWII with the US Army Air Corps. He was my hero growing up - and still is. RIP, Dad. |
