Remembering Our Veterans

When I think of a military veteran, the word “service” comes to mind.  Those in the military serve their country to keep us safe.  We all owe a great debt of gratitude to military veterans who loved their country enough to fight for it, and even to die for it.

 Despite the way military personnel are portrayed in the liberal media, those who serve and have served are among our nation’s finest. 

Several years ago, Tom Brokaw wrote a book titled, “The Greatest Generation”, in which he sought to provide evidence that it was the World War II generation of men and women who sacrificed all for America’s Freedoms. Those who made it back home, went to work, married, and had families. They went on with their lives without complaining. They understood and believed the concept of sacrifice. Whether you agree with Brokaw’s assessment, you must admit that service and sacrifice go hand in hand.   

May we all salute our veterans. Thank them for their service. That’s the least we can do as a grateful nation pauses for Veterans Day.
