Veterans Day - 2012

This coming Sunday, November 11th, is Veteran's Day. At the time of this writing, our nation is consumed with the national election, the tragedy of deaths and destruction from Hurricane Sandy in the New England states, continued high unemployment, and just trying to live life as free as we can.

But in far off lands, we still have men and women in uniform, keeping the peace, guarding against aggressors, maintaining combat readiness, and engaged in combat actions. And with those duties, we lose men and women to direct combat assaults. Such is the way of "war", and in the wars of the past.

This Veteran's Day, as with all those years in the past, please take time to acknowledge those who have passed, in service of OUR country. No matter one's opinion on the war of today, or any past war, OUR men and women in uniform, deserve such respect and acknowledgement.

Flag the Flag, say Thanks to those you see in uniform, and be thankful to those who have given ALL, for what we sometimes take for granted - Our Freedom.

To those in uniform today, Thank You for making such a commitment. To those who have served in the past, Thank You for your service.

To those who we have lost in the service of OUR country, my deepest Thanks, and God Bless those surviving families of those lost. We owe so much.

God Bless Our Troops, and God Bless America
Respectfully - Eagle3187, Vietnam Vet 69-70
