Honor them.

You know that little old man that you see walking down the street? You know, the one wearing the VFW hat with all the pins all over it, the one who walks a little prouder and holds his chin higher even though he's bent over with old age? You know, the one who will struggle to stand even if he is in a wheelchair each time the flag passes by during a parade? You know nothing of him. There was a little old man in our church who had served in 2 major wars, had been a pilot and also served in the mechanized, and had many other accolades to his name. This guy was Rambo (I'm using that as an expression of how much this person had done) - yet he was the most unassuming, kind, compassionate and loving person you would ever expect to meet. So the next time you see one of these men, or women, show them respect for the sacrifice that they have paid for your freedoms.
