Home for the holiday's has a different meaning for all of us I am sure. But what ever the reason... we all love to send holiday greetings, wishes, or... you know; phone calls. Coming from the mindset of a Veteran, this brings back a lot of memories. Let me explain...
When I was in Basic Training... I remember finding out that we were getting mail. That's right... mail from home! From loved ones, family, boyfriend or girlfriend. Something from the outside world, that we could touch... But here's the funny punchline. You are in Basic Training! You want to see that mail? You will do push-ups for every item you get! The bigger... the more push-ups! So... there was that. But it didn't matter about the physical training... it was a memory. One of both ellation from getting something from home. Mixed with... man this sucks doing these push-ups lol. If you've been there... you get it. But then you also understand that some of us... we are still out there. You know that once you are "in". You are never really "out". Brothers and Sisters for life. This is a memory that needs not be forgotten. So when we think about the holidays... any of them really. I just wanted to remind everyone to think about all the VETS that are still out there... serving, and protecting.
This was spurred by several conversations... from all of us at the Veterans & Blockchain Discord. These past few years have really been tough for all of us. From the virus, to finances... all the things that have happened to several of us on the blockchain. Goes without saying, that I think we all want a better 2023. There are various organizations that are in charge of various benefits for the VETs. But it never hurts to offer a more "human" or "I understand" mindset... first. So what we are trying to do, is help everyone remember we are still here. There's a CAV Token that you can purchase. There's a Veterans Community if you'd like to come visit? Maybe even join? You don't have to be a VET mind you... You could just come and show some support. Maybe you have a family member that is a VET. It would be a great way to honor them, by honoring another.
This is still me... Wes. On my main account. But this is also a Thoughtful Daily Post about something that certainly is thoughtful... keeping our VETs best interest at heart. Do you have a positive memory of the holidays? Are you a VET, and have had a similar memory like I shared up top? You are more than welcome to share with us... maybe post it in the Veterans Community. That alone, could be the beginning of an awesome memory. I have still been dealing with a lot of issues in my own world. But I am trying to dedicate a little extra time, to keep the fires burning for all things VETS. I hope to try and post another story soon... Hope you are all having a good week. The weekend is almost here... then Christmas is right around the corner! Much love my friends...
Almost forgot!!... I am setting all rewards to 100% Beneficiary for the vetfunding account. What's that you might say? From the cryptopen of @enginewitty :

Beautiful post.
This makes me so sad and so angry as well. I'm sorry... but not...
Government is fully responsible for providing adequate support and treatment of military members to ensure they are fully recovered and supported after combat.
F*ck them, quite frankly. Utter bastards.
And now I'll go and breathe a bit...
Good initiative. On bones of my ass (because of government stupidity and lack of accountability as always) but you have my full support in whatever way I can offer it right now.
@nickydee,
Good morning, dear heart.
You know the saying... "looks good on paper". Even those who did not serve in combat (I missed Herzegovina by a week) should be held with the same status and care as those who did. My reasons for joining the Army were spawned by many things. But regardless... I did what I did, of my own free will. I thank you for stopping by and leaving a comment. Hoping you have a wonderful weekend!

I did millions of push ups in basic.. mostly for my sarcastic potty mouth ... not for mail call
!pimp
Hey brother!! Oh, man... I did Basic at Fort Sill OK. I was a 13 Bravo Cannon Crewmember. Out of all the "Phases" we were consistently placed back in Phase 1 lol. I thought for sure, we would all be recycled back, and have to take Basic and AIT all over again. Good times... appreciate the visit and the PIMP.

Naw.. I went to Benning.. not much better.. but Oklahoma just sucks
Ahhh you must have been Infantry aye? Oklahoma was a trip, yes. The best thing about that State is the fact that it's home to the Cherokee Nation...
Have a good weekend brother...

@inthenow,
LOL... Right?! I remember the Drill Seargents complaining about some new rule, that didn't allow them to make us do a set amount of push-ups at one time. So... they made us stand, turn 45 degrees, and do more! Glad you liked the post! I will try to keep this positive motion going as I can!

Good to see you up, brother! :)
This story of yours today reminded me of the sweet letters I was getting from my friends when I was at the army (obligatory 1 year service back then, but it felt like a prison, because we were given only a 2-3 days off each quarter).

Have a great day and happy holidays ahead!
@lightcaptured,
Hello, there brother! Yes... these are memories. Some might not be the best, but again... memories. Sending you positive vibes, and holiday wishes as well!

Thanks for the LUV heads up. Things are indeed slow and wonky, and seems node related. Test !LUV [update]: It was indeed node. The last time this happened I switched from "node A" to a "node B", which worked fine until now. So, now were back to "node A" and seems good. :)

@marilour,
I appreciate your kind words, dear friend. It is always wonderful to see you. Both on the blockchain, as well as the many Discord Server's we are in. Being a Veteran myself. This is something close to my heart. So many Veterans don't get the respect and appreciation they deserve. I am not saying there are some who are not a bad element. But I am reaching out to support "everyone". It's good to see you checking in! Thank you very much for your support!
Agradezco tus amables palabras, querido amigo. Siempre es maravilloso verte. Tanto en la cadena de bloques como en los muchos servidores Discord en los que estamos. Siendo yo mismo un veterano. Esto es algo cercano a mi corazón. Tantos veteranos no reciben el respeto y el aprecio que merecen. No digo que haya algunos que no sean un mal elemento. Pero me estoy acercando para apoyar a 'todos'. ¡Es bueno ver que te registras! ¡Muchas gracias por tu apoyo!
