Veteran's Day 2008


This is a day that is set aside to recognize all men and women who have served in the Armed Forces of America. It means a lot to those of us who wore the uniform when someone actually stops to make a gesture to you on that day.

I can tell you right now that in the 22 years since I joined the U.S. Army, someone has thanked me on Veteran's Day less than 5 times, easily. In fact, only my mother calls me to say "Thank-you" on Veteran's Day.

She's a very concientious person, very giving, and was raised by a career Army Infantry soldier. She knows what kind of a sacrafice it is for any man or woman to sign up.
