Thank you for protecting me
Thank you for protecting my family
Thank you for making sure I can wake up each day and be thankful I'm alive
Thank you for letting me spend each holiday with my family
Thank you for having courage
But most of all
Thank you for being strong
Strong enough to protect someone you never met
Thank you for being strong enough to be away from your family for so long
Thank you for going to sleep at night and not knowing if you will even wake up the next day
Thank you for being strong enough to spend every holiday away from your family.
That is what "Thank you for your service" truly means
