#ThankYouVeterans Today in the News 11/11/2013:
Opening Statement:
As we all enjoy this 3 day weekend lets all remember why it is we have this day off, why we can all watch our favorite news show, why we can all see if the training Mark S. Allen has done will pay off by him swimming Alcatraz. We have all of this and so much more Freedom not because it’s a veteran that gives his/her life, limb, extra hand when called to duty. So remember on this day to reflect, give thanks to our Vets. 3

Final Thoughts:
On the day we honor our veterans and say thank you to them all 3 shows did an outstanding job in doing so. We can & will never forget those we lost during the wars nor the ones we lost that came home to share their stories with us. I am proud of ALL the vets I’ve met in my life as well as the ones I know. The ones like my dad who proudly served in the Army during Korea, my uncles who served in the Navy during WWII and my Best Friend for her Grandfather in WWII, Dad in USAF ReTired, 3 brothers currently active in USAF Stationed at Travis AFB.
On this day we honor our vets we thank them so that we can enjoy the freedoms in our life including the parades & breakfasts in their honor amongst other activities for them. But we also enjoy the freedoms of things like Amy ghost hunting in a serial killers home, Courtney checking out hair styles, working out and cooking dishes from restaurants for the coming holiday. Play with science toys at museums and slide are bootys like on tv. But the other thing we get to do if we are crazy enough is swim in the bay from Alcatraz to shore like Mark S. Allen successfully did today after failing in his first attempt in May. For those that don’t know Mark took this swim very serious and was determined to finish this time. Knowing Mark as I do he does not fail often and I knew he would do it today.
So we did all this and met a determined female Olympic hopeful hockey player all on the day we honor out vets for the freedom they not only fight for now but as well as the past. #ThankYouVeterans
