Widows of veterans.
November 11, 2022
Look around. You’ll see widows of veterans. I’ve met young ones whose husbands died in Iraq, or Afghanistan. I’ve met widows of Viet Nam veterans. One told me her story of having to move out of her home in 30 days, no job, just 3 small children who needed her to be strong. She wept as if that day were yesterday. It was 40 years ago.
Each told me their story of how they first received the news. They’ll never forget.
With a little investigating, you can discover those widows around you. Thank them. Simply ‘Thank you’ will do. If they have young families, mail them a gift card for gas, a department store, or fast food.
The best gift you give is that you remembered. They’ll never forget, and neither should we.
