Yesterday was Veteran’s Day and I found an interesting post at the Daily Breeze which said the following:

The irony of Veterans Day, which we observe today, is that while most government workers get the day off, for our troops on two battle fronts and at bases around the world, it will be business as usual.

This is very true.  Most US citizens are free to go about their daily lives because of the sacrfices of present and past military personnel.  We all need to make a better effort to free ourselves from foreign oil and stop sending money to countries that don’t like us.

If you did not a chance to thank a veteran yesterday, then do it today.  We always need to show our gratitude for the hard working men and women of our armed forces.
