Many of us are not directly affected by the devastation that war can have on a family. Often the brave men and women who sacrifice everything for us all are just people in uniforms or wounded warriors who are plagued with a plethora of seen or unseen medical conditions, causing us to feel bad for them and their families. As we celebrate our nations 236th year of independence, we need to not only be aware of the sacrifice of our service members and veterans but to also feel that sacrifice.
