Like most of you, I have tomorrow off for the holiday. Great, a day off! I can sleep in, run errands or be lazy.
While you are running around like I will be, please take a minute to remember WHY you have the day off - take a minute tomorrow to thank a veteran, a current service member or someone you know (or don't know) who made the ultimate sacrifice when she lost her husband, her son, her brother or her dad so we could live free. Military members choose to serve our County, they do not always get to choose their wars. Even if you don't support the war, support the men and women who serve this Country.
"To us in America, the reflections of Armistice Day will be filled with solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the country's service and with gratitude for the victory, both because of the thing from which it has freed us and because of the opportunity it has given America to show her sympathy with peace and justice in the councils of the nations..."
