This Veterans Day, our thanks go to people we know by name.
They are fellow members we see at chapter meetings, business owners whose milestones we celebrate, and friends we have come to count on. Among them are veterans whose military service we want to recognize with a heartfelt thank you this Veterans Day.
Veterans Day honors people whose service spans generations. Their responsibilities took them to different places and asked different things of them. Within that long history are the individual lives of people sitting beside us at our own chapter tables.
To our veteran members: thank you for the time you devoted to serving our country and for taking on the responsibilities that came with it. We recognize that military service can shape decisions about where to live, time with family, and plans for the future. We also extend our appreciation to the families and loved ones who supported you through those demands.
Through LeTip, we have the privilege of knowing you in the life you are building today. We hear about the work you care about and the goals you are pursuing. Over time, we learn more than what you do for a living. A conversation before a meeting becomes a friendship. Someone we first met through business becomes someone we are glad to see each week.
Those relationships give us an opportunity to make our appreciation personal.
As Veterans Day approaches, we encourage members to take a moment to thank the veterans in their chapters. Write a note, make a call, or spend a little extra time together after a meeting. There is no need for a formal presentation to express something sincerely.
And when November 11 has passed, keep making that time. The friendships we build give us opportunities throughout the year to be present for one another.
To every veteran in our LeTip family, thank you for your service. We are proud to count you among our members, and grateful to know you as colleagues and friends.
LeTip is proud to have you as members.
