Veterans Day is upon us. One Hundred and Two years after the guns fell silent in Europe, in the Eleventh month on the Eleventh Day at the Eleventh hour, we honor our Veterans. It is a good thing.
It would be difficult to begin a Holiday with a more sublime, dramatic flair. After four years of war, in the War to End All Wars as it was called before World War II overwhelmed that naive and hopeless plaint, the fighting stopped. Originally it was Remembrance Day and/or Armistice Day. Now we remember all Veterans.
We say thank simply because we can't say anything more profound. Our Veterans deserve more than that, especially the ones who haven't really come yet, whether MIAs or suffering from war related issues and injuries.
Still, we say thank you. From the bottom of our hearts.
