Veterans Day.

"It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the organizer, who gave us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves beneath the flag and whose coffin is draped by the flag, who allows the protester to burn the flag." – Father Dennis Edward O’Brien, USMC

I talk to soldiers on a routine basis and know the sacrifices they have made and the scars they bear for all of us.
I sent emails to thank all those I know who have served in the military.
I thank any soldier and their families who read this.
I am grateful.
