Veterans Day

Today we honor the sacrifice and commitment of the thousands of brave men and women in uniform who have fought to defend our country.

As the wars in both Afghanistan and Iraq continue, we are reminded of our obligation to take care of all of our veterans, both young and old.

This Veterans Day, let us thank the men and women who served our country and remember to provide for them as they provided for us.

Here’s a thought for you … that old man driving that Buick at 20 mph below the speed limit? You know .. the one with the big ears and that driving hat? Give him a break. He might have been one of those who waded ashore on Utah Beach on D-Day. He might have dragged a buddy to safety after seeing him cut down by German fire. We owe these people so much … whether they saw combat or not. They’ve been there to defend our freedoms. Now, more than ever, that should mean something to you.

Maybe you’ll take the time to read this article from the Wall Street Journal: Soldiers of the Great War.
