Happy Veteran's Day to my dad, and every other man/woman that has or is serving. I'm so out of touch with things. I didn't even know about Veteran's Day this year until my mom told me she had today off because she works at a military high school. My dad spent 30 years in the Air Force...I spent 16 years living that whole different way of life. I've been around other military kids for so much of my life that now that I have friends who have no idea what it's about I feel weird, and have no way of explaining all the feelings that go along with it. I can kind of explain it to JC because he grew up in a really small country town, and I grew up on an AF base, which was it's own little town. No need to travel out into the big city at all. I know some bases are more intertwined with the city where it resides, and the kids go to public schools and stuff, but that's not how Lackland works. I miss it a little bit. I miss reminiscing about all the weird little intricacies that make me and other people military BRATS!
