Celebrating the Unsung Heroes in Our Lives Sometimes the people who have had the biggest impact on your life aren’t the people you would expect. Sometimes they are the people you would have otherwise overlooked. For me, Fathers’ Day has always been a sore subject. My dad was never really in the picture, so a day that celebrated awesome fathers stung a bit. This year, however, I realized that while I may not have had my biological father in my life, there were several men who stepped up to be the father figures I needed. They helped to shape me into the person I am today without me even realizing that that’s what they were doing. Those 3 men who have been constants in my life are my grandfather, my uncle, and my high school math teacher. From my grandfather, I learned how to drive, change my tires, and the oil in my car. My uncle taught me the value of hard work and got me my first job at his shop working on cars. My math teacher taught me the value of learning, of respect, and how to be a leader. These three men made an effort to make me feel like I mattered and showed me that there were people out there that really cared about me. In addition to all being positive role models to me, they all share a common thread. They were all in one of the branches of the armed forces. They fought to keep our country safe and now, they’re fighting just as hard for me. Much like I almost overlooked the impact these amazing men had on my life, many service men and women of our armed forces aren’t given nearly enough recognition for all that they do for our country. Fortunately, at D’ELLA Honda of Glens Falls, they have a special offer for members of the U.S. Military as a small token of appreciation for all that those brave men and women have done for our country. This year for Fathers’ Day I will be celebrating and showing appreciation to the three men who have helped to shape me. At D’ELLA Honda of Glens Falls, now all of the unsung heroes who have fought to keep our country safe can be appreciated too! Check Out Our Military Appreciation Offer
