The term "boots on the ground" is often used to refer to military personnel deployed in combat zones. However, this expression can be dehumanizing and minimize the sacrifices and experiences of our service members. Instead of reducing them to just their footwear, let's acknowledge the bravery, dedication, and challenges faced by these men and women who serve our country.

By refraining from using the term "boots on the ground" and instead opting for more respectful and accurate language, we can help bridge the gap between civilians and service members. It is crucial to demonstrate our understanding and appreciation for the individuals who put their lives on the line to protect our freedoms. Together, let's foster a culture of mutual respect and awareness between military veterans and civilians.Join us in spreading social awareness and bridging the gap between civilians and service members to support active duty and veterans
