Millions of Americans wore our nation’s uniform. They missed precious birthdays and spent holidays far from home. They said goodbye to the people they loved, not knowing whether they’d see them again. Some came home without the friends who served beside them.

And they did it for the country we’re blessed to call home: these United States of America.
This Veterans Day, add your name to our letter to America’s veterans and say what they deserve to hear more often: Thank you.

To America’s veterans,
You and your families served a grateful nation full of people you would never meet. We are those people: the generations who grew up free because of you.

Whether you served in wartime or in peacetime, overseas or here at home, you raised your hand when it counted. You gave years of your life. Too many of you still carry things the rest of us will never fully understand.

To your families, who waited, worried, and served alongside you: We thank you, too.

You may not wear the uniform anymore, but you will always have our respect and our gratitude.

Signed,
Thankful Americans
