The Power Of HELLO!

      This weekend we will all be celebrating Veteran’s day. As I thought about all the vets I have come across in my life, the only thing I thought about was the word HELLO. Why Hello?

       Hello is a word that everyone can use. Most vets are just normal people on the outside but maybe very lonely on the inside. If we could just take two minutes to say “HELLO”, just maybe they might feel like they have a friend. Even if it is just for a split section.

        Most vets hear “ Thanks for your services” at least one time on Veteran’s day. That’s good, but expected. By saying “HELLO” you might get to have a conversation with them. Who knows you might be the only person that takes the time to start a conversation. I have learn that the most importing thing to them, is to be respect and loved as a person. Not always for what they have done.

       So on this Veteran’s day and every day after, try to do a little more than just thanking them. Try to say Hello. You might just gain a friend. They might have some really cool stories and some life lessons to share with you. 

Happy Veteran’s Day!
