"As time marches forward, we rise again to mark our nation's reverent bservance of Veterans' Day; the 87th anniversary of the Armistice ending the carnage of World War I on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918.
"This year, as in years past, our nation finds itself at war. Young men and women, volunteers in the uniform of our armed forces, continue their unbroken legacy of service to our nation; a service conceived during the revolutionary cause of our forebearers."
A Holiday for Heroes - Here is a pretty good summary of why we celebrate Veterans Day today, something we should never forget.
It is our responsibility to hold our government accountable for the actions of the military, not the other way around. Whatever your feelings are about the current "War" in Iraq and Afghanistan lets salute our military personnel today and remember all those that have served and given so much of themselves to help keep us all free today.
