Yesterday, being Veterans day, I took the time out of my day to really consider and be grateful for everything the Vets have done for this country. My grandpa being a Veteran, is the head of a Veterans center upstate and yesterday there was a huge celebration. A parade that went through the town. He even got to ride in a car and wave to all those who came out to support. Veterans is a huge day in my family because my grandpa had surved in the war and that really puts Veterans day into perspective for myself and my family. My grandfather had risked his life for this country and that means the world to me.
