Veterans Day – it means something different to each of us. Maybe it’s the day your neighbors gather together to make a vet feel special. Maybe it’s an excuse to wear red, white, and blue. Maybe it’s just another day off of work for you.

Whatever it’s been to you in the past, I challenge you to take the time to remember those who have served our country.

Each and every day, ordinary people with extraordinary courage and bravery protect and preserve the freedom that we so boldly proclaim. Their noble sacrifice of personal freedom so we can exercise ours is worthy of the utmost honor, praise, and thanks. But personal freedom is not the only cost of our country’s freedom and safety; life itself must sometimes be given to secure the freedom that we so effortlessly enjoy. Memorial Day is a day to remember those souls who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. I urge you to preserve the memory of those who have died in the service of our country.  Live with a thankful spirit.   Live in a manner that honors those who have given served in the military.

Though Veterans Day is set aside to remember those who have served our country, America.  It is also a perfect day to honor those who are still living. Write them a card, take them to lunch, give them a gift.

At Corporate Massage Kneads, we believe that the gift of massage can greatly benefit veterans. Recent studies have shown that massage therapy can not only aid physical healing but can also help victims recover from PTSD, a syndrome common in veterans. Massage can lower cortisol levels and increase serotonin and dopamine levels, which reduces hyperarousal sensations and eases anxiety in veterans and office workers alike.
