In time for Veterans Day this year, we asked: What lessons have veterans taught you? How have they changed your life? Here are a few of the many responses we received.
My father was a combat veteran from World War II, surviving the war with a Silver Star and Purple Heart award. He came home to marry his sweetheart, earn a living, and raise me and my two sisters. He brought a few things with him from his flying days, and never really talked about it very much. In fact, I found out more about my father’s “ventures” after watching a pilot episode of a “Vets” TV series than I’d ever learned from him directly.
