"Yesterday was Veterans Day, and today is the legal observance of Veterans Day. And two days is a good start, but we still need another 363 days a year to appropriately show appreciation for those who have served.
These are the men and women who have given us everything...a gift which they have all paid dearly for, with the price too often being their very lives.
Sadly, we still have a long way to go in correcting the failures of various VA programs, and the totally unacceptable problems of homeless veterans in our nation's streets and a heartbreaking plague of suicides. There should be no higher governmental priority than doing right by these men and women, whatever the cost.
But it's important to note that, despite these very real problems, Veterans Day is still primarily one of celebration. A day in which we can recognize, and give thanks for, the courage, integrity, leadership, and patriotism of those who have given military service. You are the best of us."
Thank you Stilton's Place

Couldn't agree more Sir ... Freedom is not cheap and many do not recognize the sacrifices it requires ... Thanks to our Veterans who have a real perspective on the United States of America ...
