HONORING ALL WHO SERVED

It is Veterans Day, which is a national holiday.  This day celebrates all members of the military, those currently serving, those who have served previously and those who have served in times of peace, as well as war. This differs from Memorial Day, which is a day to commemorate specifically those who died while serving; especially those who died in combat.  We are fortunate to have a day that provides a national platform through which to show our appreciation for our Veterans.   But keep in mind, a simple “thank you” at any time during the year is a great way to show appreciation for all our military members past and present.
Here at Hurricane Express we have several Veterans who are part of the family.  I would like to take a moment to recognize them.  We do so appreciate the service and sacrifice that, not only you as a veteran have endured, but your family members and friends have endured as well.  Many places offer free food, picnics, parades and assemblies as a way of extending the thanks and appreciation that Veterans deserve for all they have done.
We will be offering any drivers who stop by our office tomorrow a free lunch.  If you are in the area, stop in and have lunch with us.
It is asked that we pause for a moment at 11:00 am on Veterans Day to consider those who have served and silently thank them for having provided us with the greatest gift of all, freedom.  For those of us fortunate enough to have a veteran at home or work, hug them tightly and thank them for their daily sacrifice and service to our country.

It is with great pride and honor that I wish all of our veterans a very happy and safe Veterans Day this year. You are heroes every day, and I am forever grateful.
