Female veteran with RRMS: "When you have the heart of a warrior, but a body with limitations"
"I no longer take for granted all of the things that my body enabled me to do. It would take something away from me, but then it would eventually give most of it back. I’ve always been able to see until I wasn’t. Then it was returned, and I was so grateful for it! Grateful for every sweet little moment with my kids that I got to witness. Grateful even for the ability to drive again after the feeling returned to my legs. Grateful also for the Department of Veterans Affairs. Somehow life was all the more precious after the experience."
From Momentum magazine, written by a female vet: www.nationalmssociety.org/news-and-magazine/momentum-magazin...

Hi there. I hear you’ve seen some stuff.
My grandfather flew Lancasters for the RAF in WW2. I was complimenting my waitress to her manager the other day. He had just retired from the military and was now running this restaurant. My compliment about my waitress was that she was really aware of her tables because she already had “her head on a swivel.”
His eyes narrowed sharply as he looked at me as I looked back at him. Our eyes had a very intense conversation. What do you think the conversation was about. #CPTSD #Veterans #customerservice #PTSD

#Veterans DAY
Todays post is about honoring all Veterans who fought for our country and for those who continue to fight for this country today. My father is a Veteran who I consider a hero. I have met many disabled Veterans in my life and I'm always proud of their bravery and Sacrifice I truly believe that our Veterans should be honored everyday not just one day out of the year. Today and everyday I salute all Veterans thank you for your service.

"Fair winds and following seas"
It is with a heavy heart that I tell you this. My grandfather passed away from COVID-19 last night. He fought so hard until the agonizing end of his life. My grandfather served as a Navy officer. He worked as an electronics engineer and he was actually there at Bikini Atoll for the first atomic weapons test. I dearly miss his stories of his time in the service. My grandfather was the toughest, smartest man I knew. I had the privilege of growing up in rural Alaska with him and my grandmother, who passed over a decade ago. He taught me binary, hexadecimal, and base eight when I was in grade school. He made beautiful musical instruments in his woodshop and stunning leatherwork, he taught me how to woodwork too. I just wish I had more time with him, this virus ripped him away from us too soon. My heart is broken, and I don’t know how to carry on. I don’t have family locally, my grandfather and my mother (who still lives in Alaska) are my only family. I cannot be with them now. It shatters my soul. I salute his bravery and I honor the life he had.
I’ve attached a photo I took of him and my mother the last time we were all together for Christmas as a family (2004).
