VETERANS

Tomorrow, November 11th is Veterans Day in the United States of America.
We should honor those whom have served, sacrificed and given their lives for our Nation.
The NEW OXFORD Dictionary defines Veteran:
veteran |ˈvetərən; ˈvetrən|
noun
a person who has had long experience in a particular field
• a person who has served in the military : a veteran of two world wars.
ORIGIN early 16th cent.: from French vétéran or Latin veteranus, from vetus ‘old.’

I AM A PERSON "WHO HAS HAD LONG EXPERIENCE IN A PARTICULAR FIELD"

I am a veteran, not just from the U.S.Army but also after eight years since being diagnosed with PD.
Sometimes being a veteran weighs heavy on your physche and sometimes it is as light as a feather.
You served and now you are being served, or are aware that time marches on which leads to progress.
I am a veteran who served but I am fortunate not to be making fast progress.

HAPPY VETERAN'S DAY.
