I feel like Veterans Day brings on emotions to all Americans. Somewhere in most families there is a Veteran, whether in the past, in the present, or in the future, after serving.
My dad was a Veteran and the closest one to me. He never shared much about his experiences. That always made me wonder how hard it must have been to serve in the Korean War.
Without giving anything away, the main character in my book trilogy, the Kammer Family Series, touches on his own experiences serving in the military (in the third book yet to be released).
Similar to my dad, Izrael does not share much with his family upon his return.
I respect the choice not to share. I also believe that there can be a need to talk through painful memories. I imagine it is a very personal decision either way and I have great respect for both.
Thank you to all who have served. I honor each and every one of you today.
Veterans Day
