Thank you. Thank you for doing the thankless jobs.
Lest we forget those who fought in the war. And may we also remember those who weren't in the trenches. Who stayed home and made meals,
who worked factories, farms, were nurses, merchant marines... Each of those roles were crucial to support the front lines.
Never think that what you do is insignificant or unimportant.
"They also serve who only stand and wait" is from an old John Milton poem. It simply means that we all have a place in this world and we all have a purpose and perform a function, regardless of our ability or disability. So, I say again: thank you. Happy Monday!
