Veteran's Day Quotes That Say Thank You

I think it is fair to say that we can never thank the millions of men and women who have fought for this country and everything it stands for enough — especially on Veterans Day. So, rounded up below is a good way to start thanking them: These Veterans Day quotes that say thank you are the perfect words to share this Nov. 11 when you are trying to figure out exactly what to say to those U.S. soldiers who have risked their lives for your freedom. Post them on Facebook, write them in a card, or text them to a friend — just make sure that a veteran you know hears or reads them.

Veterans have been through a lot, and for many, the challenges don't just stop once they stop serving. The fact of the matter is, veterans don't quit sacrificing once they return to America. Their battles often last a lifetime, and that's something that many of us who have never served can have a difficult time understanding.
