We as a community ask that you take a moment to pause, give thanks, and reflect on those who have given their all for their country and for the men/women to their left and right.

Be it us losing them on the battlefield, the demons who followed them home, or to any of the various insidious diseases and conditions due to their service.

Today is mother's day. So be sure to thank your Drill Sergeant into shaping you, into who you are today.

But in all seriousness, give those who were a motherly figure to you some thanks today.

If your mother is no longer with us, you have our condolences.

If your mom was a bum, then it is what it is.

But if you are going though a hard time right now, you can speak to someone by calling 988.
