I cannot let this day pass without a nod of gratitude to all the men and women who have served in the armed forces to protect and preserve our country in both wartime as well as peacetime. I know some served more willingly than others as the Vietnam era draft is still a sore point for many. But all who served did so out of a their sense of responsibility to their country, a sense that doesn’t seem to exist in the propagandized minds of today’s youth.
While the face of freedom’s enemy may morph over time, it never goes away.That is why we’ll always need people on the wall, willing to do whatever is necessary to keep the malignancy at bay; people who don’t need safe spaces and for whom “trigger warning” means something altogether different than hurt feelings
It is why today we honor all those who have responded to the call to serve both currently and in previous generations. To the men and women who carried out their obligation with a senesce of dignity, duty and courage: we salute and thank you.
May God bless America
Just for the record: “Veterans Day is always observed officially on November 11, regardless of the day of the week on which it falls.”
