VETERANS: Remember the unsung heroes

A lot of veterans feel that their sacrifice was not important because they didn’t have to shoot anyone and weren’t shot at. We always hear stories of veteran heroes, but what about all those veterans who stood in the background and supported them so they could do what they did?

Honoring our heroes is great but we also need to honor those who supported them with the tools they needed to do their jobs. Please also remember those unseen heroes in the background. When everyone does their job, success is the result.
