Remembering Our Veterans

Veterans Day is a time to say thank you.

Thank you for your unselfish service.

Thank you for the sacrifices you’ve made while wearing that uniform.

Thank you for stepping up to do a job only a tiny percent of our country’s population ever considers doing.

And thank you for protecting our freedoms.

Saturday, November 11, is Veterans Day—a time to honor all those who serve, or have served.

What can you do to say thank you?

Start by reading how massage and bodywork can impact a veteran’s life:
