Today is Veterans Day. This is the day that we should all take a moment and thank our nations vets for their sacrifice to our country. For some that sacrifice was minimal. For others it was the ultimate.
Today is a day that we need to set aside our differences and reflect on the freedom that we all enjoy and how we came upon that freedom. So, rather than wait until the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month take a moment now and reflect. I would encourage you to pick up the phone and call any Veterans that you may know and thank them. They probably don't think they did much but they deserve the recognition for their service.
I would also like to thank the families. They give their spouse, father, mother, etc. to service. They should also be recognized for that sacrifice. Their support to the service member is critical for him/her to be successful. They are largely forgotten even though they are a big part of the network that are supporting our troops overseas. Hats off to them.
And although thank you hardly seems adequate, it is our chance to show appreciation for what we have been given.
Thank You.

Kent. I'll take your advised and thank a vet today. It is unfortunate that liberals don't appreciate vets. In fact, most despise them. I wish we could put the liberals on the front lines so they could see what the cost of freedom really is.
My Mother sent me an email not too long ago with the closing;
"If you are not willing to stand behind our troops, please feel free to stand in front of them".
I thought that was well said.

So much for setting aside differences, 8:30. Plenty of liberals appreciate vets and you are in no position to say otherwise. If you're speaking about this war I will offer this, which I'm sure you've heard before. Just because someone does not approve of this war does not mean we don't appreciate the troops or support them.
I will agree. It was a blanket statement as not all liberals have the same views. Our opinion of the current situation should not have an impact on the support of our troops.
So my previous statement will only apply to those who choose not to support the military.
