 back.

I think Veteran’s Day is a very special day honoring the people who sacrificed everything for us in the military. Honestly I would either wanna be in the Air Force or Navy when I grow up. It’s a hard job to do,but it’s wonderful doing something for your country. At the same time I feel sad for any military family  that has lost a loved one. I have great respect for the military. To any person that has the balls! To go fight for their country I give them R.E.S.P.E.C.T.
