Absent Due to Veterans Program

One vet in particular touched my heart. He seemed to be about eighty years of age, and he presented a short speech. During his speech, he cried reminiscing on the ones who lost their life in war. This saddened me, and it also made me realize that people actually died for my freedom, my success, and my future; for that, I am forever grateful.
