866.

Hello and happy Monday y'all.

Here in the US of A, we're honoring our retired military members with a day called Veteran's Day. It's the day we use to thank our former service men and women for their service to us.

The appreciation takes many forms. Sometimes we say it verbally or in writing. The federal government gives employees the day off. Other businesses do as well.

Restaurants give free and/or discounted food and drink. Some of them do this for the spouses of veterans as well. Some extend these offers to the widows/widowers of veterans as well.

I am the widow of a veteran but I won't be heading out for any free or discounted food or drinks today. I'm not feeling particularly festive. 😔

To all veterans, my sincerest "thank you" for your service. I will never forget even as I pray for the day all militaries need only be groups used for peaceful assistance around the world.

To Mr. Bliss, my darling, my love -- thank you for your service. Until we meet again, rest well airman. 💕
