10 Reasons Why Veterans Rock My Face Off

Sure, we don't have armed guards at every corner and are able to choose our own destiny...yada, yada. But why do we REALLY love our veterans?? Like REALLY? Here are the top 10 REAL reasons why.

10. Because of Costco. I love it. You love it. You can buy a coat or pants or a bag of 400 pretzels. You can get a gallon of Benefiber or an HDTV or a bunch of roses or a kitchen faucet or a casket or a computer or a hottub or a couch or a pie or filet mignon. No, I don't think there's anything you can't get at Costco. Aside from maybe "fun size" items. And sure, there may be a few in Canada - but that's just our good nature to spread the wealth.

9. Because of camo. The hunters of America thank you for the kick-A idea and fashion statement.

8. Because of blogging. Saying whatever the heck I want whenever the heck I want to say it is the best so thanks for making sure my personal needs are met.

7. Because of Call of Duty, the video game. Without you, there would be no inspiration for this game, and therefore my husband would be depressed and sad. So thanks for making him happy. Since he physically can't fight with you, he fights vicariously.

6. Because of your stories. This is for the WWII and Vietnam vets who (despite my beliefs in earlier years) always have these action packed stories to tell...over...and over...and over again. But I never tire of them because unlike Pearl Harbor the movie, these ones are probably true.

5. Because of living beyond our means. We live in huge suburban houses with SUV's and boats and take vacations and are just a pile of "wealth"...it's really all worth it no matter how much debt we're in. Seriously.

4. Because of taxes. You heard me. That's part of what you fight for. (As if you didn't know.) For wide roads and awesome civil engineering and excellent water sources and good public schools and police officers and firemen (hot ones) and helping poor people.

3. Because of WWII. Seriously changed our entire country forever for the better.

2. Because of that "Citizen Soldier" video they played in the previews of movies forever which got sort of annoying but was cool the first 20 times I saw it.

1. Because of being able to attend college, and women especially being able to attend college, and going to whatever church we want whenever we want, and writing and thinking and speaking and watching and doing whatever we choose to do, and giving that ability to any ol' person basically that wants to join in from other countries and parades and parties and working and health insurance and gasoline and starting a random business out of thin air and for countless other things that you tear yourself away from your family and sense of saftey to protect for America. Yay!
