Prometheus-like, from heaven she stole
The fire that through those silken lashes
In darkest glances seeuis to roll,
From eyes that cannot hide their flashes

On Veterans Day, I find myself reflecting on the remarkable men and women who have worn our nationโs uniform and the sacrifices they and their families have made in service to our country. I am continually inspired by their courage, their commitment, and the many ways they continue to serve their communities long after their military service has ended.
My son Mac had a special appreciation for the men and women we serve through the Gary Sinise Foundation. During his time working with the Foundation, he had the opportunity to meet many of these incredible heroes, and he shared my deep respect for their service and sacrifice. It meant a great deal to him to be part of this mission.
Iโve been reflecting on many of these lessons while sharing our familyโs story in my new book, Graceful Warrior, which is available now.
To all our veterans, thank you for your service and sacrifice. We honor you today and every day. Happy Veterans Day.

Day 11 - Near
The Carpenters - Close to you
Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
