Veteran's Day

[jeanvieve]

I hope all that know a US Veteran of any branch or length of service will stop on November 11 and thank them for their work on behalf of our country. We may not always agree with how troops are spent, or which wars are fought and how. But whatever issues our ideologies have with the ruling establishment of any regime, I hope everyone remembers that our armed forces from Army to Reserves and Coast Guard are made up of human beings that stood up to be involved and make a difference in their own lives as well as the lives of others.

I admire the solemn pride that must be theirs when they hear the national anthem or see the colors displayed. I am grateful that so many find their way in the world through this path to become better citizens, more mindful than most about what it is to defend our cherished way of life. And I wish peace and new joy for the ones that have lost their way, caught up in the wars inside that now continue to replay.

Thank you, Vets.
