I cannot imagine what you have been through, but I hope that you know you are not alone in this world. There are so many people that want to listen and understand you, and to be helpful in any way that you need. People do exist that will listen + try their best not to judge. People do exist that respect your bravery and sacrifice, for your country, your fellow vets, and your friends/family.

I'll never truly understand what it is to live as a veteran. What I do understand is no matter what people have experienced or witnessed, they will always be loved. Your bravery and sacrifice inspires me to think wider, love broader, and give back freely. Thank you for your selflessness.

Thank you for your sacrifice. It doesn't matter why you chose to join the U.S. military, but as someone who will probably never be a part of an arm of our military, I thank you. I wholeheartedly respect your undeniable selflessness and courage. You deserve to be recognized as a hero, regardless of your role and how big or small you felt your role played in securing our freedom and rights or helping underserved nations with their struggles. Thank You!

You have sacrificed more than I could ever know or hope to understand. Your life is so important, so unique, and worthy of respect and love. You are not alone. Though we may not understand, you have support from civilians. There is hope, because you are not alone. You are strong, even if you don't feel that way sometimes. I LOVE YOU.

I just want to say that I see you under that uniform. I see you. You're my mother and father, my brother and sister. And I appreciate your strength. Me and so many others, more than you know.

The complexity of emotions & experiences that you hold are unique to you & can never be fully understood by us. But I want you to know that there are people who care & will try to support you in whatever way we can. We must all work together to somehow ease the suffering & transitions that are inevitable in this life. I hope you find peace. Thank you for your sacrifice.

Thank you for teaching me to challenge my biases. It's always helpful to challenge the assumptions we may hold about others, when we cannot know their stories. Thank you for your sacrifice.

You may be unaware of your importance in this world. I want to tell you why you are important to me - I'm a civilian with PTSD. Although, I didn't go to war with you, I'm here healing with you. You represent strength and willpower when I am weak, and your fellow veterans helped me when I could not help myself. Nothing is without purpose - even if you don't understand it right now.

Thank you for your sacrifice. While, I may not agree with war and the ideals of the military, I do acknowledge your worth as a human who has given up more than I ever could. We are here for you should you need to talk.

Thank you. It seems so small to say it so simply. There are not words enough to express my gratitude for the blessing you have so selflessly bestowed upon me; every day. Please know that every moment, every breath is a prayer of thanks to you, my brothers & sisters for the freedom & opportunity I have because of you.

I truly cannot imagine the power & courage it takes to be a part of the military. Your sacrifice is truly unbelievable to me. You do it so we do not have to and for that I deeply thank you for all you continue to sacrifice for us civilians.
