Veterans Day

It was on this day that I headed for my new adventure in the navy. I headed to San Diego, California for my recruit training followed by culinary school. I talk extensively about my experience in my memoirs as well as tell the story of the many great people that I have had the pleasure to have served with and gotten to know in my tadpole stage of life.

I like to think that we all had one thing in common and that was that we would serve to the very best of our ability. Even though our backgrounds were different and even our home countries were different, this common idea was what brought us together and has kept us together through the toughest times of military service. 

The willingness to risk your life for a people, a government, a country or a belief is a very admirable act that I am very happy to see is more appreciated today than ever before. Being in the food industry, it makes me proud to see the chain restaurants offer appreciation for the veterans. Sacrificing so much for most times very little deserves appreciation and recognition each and every day and I would like to say thank you to those whom appreciate a veterans service and sacrifice.

As you give thanks for what you have, remember all of those whom we have lost to get where we are today.
