For all those who have served

Ian Poulter (the golfer) tweeted about those who gave up their todays for our tomorrows.

In recognition for the rest:

Those who sacrificed some of their tomorrows for our tomorrows (those that finally were brought down by service exposure)

And the spouses that kept losing possessions each time they moved

And the military brats that went through nine teachers (on two continents) in a year and a half of school

And the civilians that went through 9/11 (or sometimes worse)
