Why Vets-Cars

We Are All Around You…

I poured your coffee this morning…
Ninety days ago I was in Helmand Province.

I handed you your drycleaning today…I hope I did it right…
Laundry is what I learned in Takrit…
…please have patience.

You beeped your horn at me in traffic this afternoon…
Sorry…some days I find myself back there
and it takes a minute to shake it off.

I am the wife of the Warrior half a world away.

I’m the one who saw and lived through
more than I wanted to ever see…

I’m the one teaching your kids.

I’m your town Cop.

I’m your nurse at the hospital.

I am the Sailor plumber Coast Guard carpenter. Marine Corps roofer.

Soldier Lawyer

Airman Doctor

We Are All Around You…

If you shake my hand and thank me, that’s great…
I’ll appreciate it.

But they told me that yours is the place to come for
a fair and square deal…

I never wanted – or expected – parades.
So please, just do right by me and my family…

…because that’s what I was trying to do for you.

“Because America’s Warriors Shouldn’t Have To Fight For A Great Deal.”
