Happy Veterans Day
Posted on November 10th, 2006 in General, My Thoughts, On Patriotism
Veteran’s Day is one of my favorite recognized holidays. I like it so much because it is a time to honor and celebrate the men and women that have served our country in the Armed Forces. Regardless of your political affiliation, religious affiliation, ethnic background or financial position, one thing we, as a community, can all do is honor those people that have offered to give their all in the service of this country.
As I write this I am reminded that there are several men that I personally of that have served in the military. My father served in the US Army in Korea in the 1950’s. My father-in-law served in the US Navy in Vietnam in the early 1970’s. Two of my very best friends served in the US Navy right out of high school. The bravery, commitment and service that these
men showed is indicative of a great many soldiers serving the country in the Armed Forces.
So today, if you by chance happen up a man or woman in uniform, ask to shake their hand and tell them thanks for being a hero and being willing to risk all so the rest of us don’t have to.
