My granddad was a @usnavy man. My family has an old photo of him in an album, lean & sinewy, standing on the deck of a ship. He has a cigarette hanging out of his mouth that I imagine he rolled himself. And a half-cocked hint of a grin on his face. I wish I had that album in my hands today. But the image is burned into my brain. I have his tags in a drawer at home. I touch them most days when I leave the house. I’m not sure I’ve ever told anyone that... but I’ve carried his service with me all my life. The idea of it anyway, as he would never talk about it. But the idea that we as a nation would come together for a common good, & fight fascism. That we’d collectively serve for freedom. The weight of that isn’t lost of me, today of all days. The legacy. I often wonder if when my grandad got home he got to kiss a “beautiful broad!” as he liked to say, in a celebration somewhere, like this photo. Or was it quiet? If she existed, who was she? How long did she wait? What weight did she carry alone? Did she work a factory line? Did she want to go too? I think about the women who built our airplanes & ships & fought for generations to pilot them. The women who are out there on the frontlines now too. I think about the families that are still so far apart, as one half serves the country. I think about the families I’ve met on tours with @theuso around the world, whose children grow up on bases. The wounded warriors I’ve met in hospital when they’ve come home injured. While it’s doubtless that war is awful and we should push our common evolution and learning to eradicate it on this earth — for all people — service is something I deeply admire and cherish. Democracy wouldn’t exist without it. Equity would be an idea, rather than a destination on the horizon, without it. It comes at a cost no doubt. And I am deeply grateful for those who choose it. Each time I’d witness the reunion of a military family in the arrivals gate at the Wilmington, NC a airport I’d get choked up. Even now, just thinking about them, I do. Near or far, please know that there are so many of us sending you love today. Thank you all for your service. And I miss you, Pops. ♥️ #VeteransDay
