Let's stop taking these people for granted

— In light of a recent trip to our war memorials to honor the brave, I was reminded of the immeasurable contributions done on behalf of all of us! Reminded that "Ma'am" or "Sir" are still an appropriate greeting, though seldom used.
Many dedicated women and men have touched our lives in one way or another, whether it be, a veteran, police officer, firefighter, teacher, or countless others. Please extend your hand and say "Thank You!" "Ma'am" "Sir," and give them the respect and appreciation that they so overwhelmingly deserve!
