Here are some things I was going to read at our meeting at Cindy's, but since I am not able to make it, I will post them here.
A veteran is a man or woman who fell live with their country, for better, or worse - for richer, for poorer - in sickness and in health.
A Veteran is a person who is willing to lay down their life for the Stature of Liberty so that the poor, the huddled masses, the homeless, the tempest tossed may breathe free and may enjoy life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
A veteran is a person who does what they must - in spite of the personal consequences - in spite of obstacles and dangers and pressures - for that is the basis of all human morality.
A veteran is a person who gets a lump in his throat when they see our beloved flag and they fight to protect our beautiful bunting from those who would dare to dishonor it.
A Veteran is a person who pays their taxes, willingly, serves his country, honorably and cherished their freedom passionately.
A veteran is a person well-deserving of our appreciation, our love, and our prayers 365 days a year.
I would personally like to thank our veterans today and everyday and I will always try to remember the ones that never made it home. Also, I put together a new page on the 444 Vets web site:http://444starvets.org/veterans_day_2012.htm
