Veteran's Day, thank you from a grateful nation.

It's Veterans' Day. Whether you agree with politics and decisions that send Americans to other lands or not, we must admire the inner strength and resolve with which they go. We must remember them every day, not just today, as they stand for all that is good about America, protecting us and others in the world that cannot protect themselves. We must say a prayer for their families, that their sons, daughters, husbands, wives, fathers, mothers, return home safely, and for those that we cry for when we learn that this is not to be. All those names inscribed in Memorials throughout the country, all the losses that families have felt for generations, all the families that are currently at home holding their breath that all will be well for their soldier, we are a thankful nation. Thank you to your parent, sibling, spouse or child, and thank you to you, their family, as well. I can only speak for myself, but I do truly believe that no matter what each person's politics and beliefs, in this wish to express gratitude, American Citizens are united.
