Comments on: Hug a Veteran Today http://jolanamalkston.com/hug-a-veteran-today/ Tue, 13 Feb 2018 02:29:00 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.9.26 By: Richard http://jolanamalkston.com/hug-a-veteran-today/#comment-1149 Mon, 20 Nov 2017 03:14:00 +0000 http://jolanamalkston.com/?p=461#comment-1149 Great article. Your dad was special for having been a submariner during World War II. I was a submariner aboard a large nuclear powered ballistic missile submarine in the 70s, and we were fortunate to have a few World War II veterans still serving when we came along.

They were all so young. Our country owes them a debt we can never repay for being so selfless, especially to those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

I’ve come to the conclusion that most wartime memories are so painful and traumatic that many veterans don’t want to relive them by talking about them. They want to put it all behind them, and I can’t say I blame them.

I hugged my veteran husband too. (1st Lt., US Army), and then we went to lunch at Applebee’s. The chain serves complimentary meals to active U.S. military and veterans on Veteran’s Day. Let’s hear it for Applebee’s appreciation and patriotic support for our military heroes!

Can’t hug my dad either. (Lt. In the US Airforce) I did hug my husband (US Army-spec4) on your behalf.
