This weekend, it is time to say thank you to our veterans. There are numerous opportunities to do so, starting this morning . More programs and parades are planned Sunday, which is actually Veterans Day. The holiday for most schools and government offices is Monday. We sense that Veterans Day is getting more attention now than it has in years past. Why? Perhaps because we are losing World War II veterans at such a rate that within a few years, there won't be many left to honor. Perhaps because of the alarming reports that many Iraq war veterans are struggling to get the medical treatment and services they deserve. Perhaps because of the troubling number of vets who are homeless. Whatever the reason, we're pleased to see Veterans Day regain significance. People do not have to attend an event to acknowledge a veteran. It can be as simple as saying to a family member, friend or neighbor: Thank you. Thank you for serving our country and protecting our freedoms. As A Veteran Myself I say your most WELCOME, won't hesitate to Serve and Protect our Freedoms AGAIN and Those who are, has, and about to.... I SALUTE THEE.
