Longwood Industries Provides Useful Advice On Veterans Day Celebrations

Shared by Longwood Industries

Veteran's Day provides us all a amazing opportunity to pay homage to the women and men who, over the years, have experienced hardships and made sacrifices to safeguard our fundamental freedoms. Some people show up at local services or community parades, others take the time to remember more quietly. How do you feel most comfortable revealing your patriotism or nationalism?

There is scarcely a household that hasn't been touched by both the distress of conflict and war or the grief of loss. For many, thoughts remain raw whether the loss was long ago or the grieving process goes on in the present.

Pat reflects on the irony of it all, having lost her Father in the Vietnam war. "He died when I was five and I spent my growing up years longing for a Dad. I couldn't believe it when my husband told me he had made a decision to make the military his career. I hope every day that my children won't have to undergo what I went through."

The value of appreciating Veterans has many parallels to our own unique relationships at home. As you remember the Veterans of all wars, reflect on the following attitudes as they apply to your own family:

1.Determine, for yourself, the important components of what gives everyday life meaning. Find out what makes up personal well being, within the context of family. Continue to live up to those standards.

2.Value each member of your family and their personality, emotional strength and independence. Let them know how much you value these traits. And inform them that you need them to simply accept your one of a kind personal characteristics as well.

3.In moments of disappointment, notice the context of the challenging situation. Identify that your partner, children or parents are normal people who have been put in extraordinary circumstances.

4.Try to understand why your family members feel the way they do, and why they do the things they do, by putting yourself in their shoes. Identify with them and their feelings.

5.Recognize the depth and richness of your family life together. Relish, as well as laugh about, the complexity of it all.

6.Feel the embrace and the protection of the family unit as a whole. Tell your family how thankful you are for all the support that they provide for you.

No matter the composition of your family, how can you create daily positive thoughts about your relationships? How can you regularly express your gratitude to family members? Find the special ways to honor them as you work toward increasing the bonds of family unity.
