Thursday November 11th our nation celebrates Veteran's Day. On this day we pay tribute to the brave men and women of our country who have served in the military. This day was orginally created to commemorate the end of WWI when the armistice that ended the war was signed on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month.
Growing up I would think about "older" veterans who fought in WWII; Korea and Vietnam. However today "Veteran" has taken on many faces and many generations of soldiers. With the war in Iraq and Afghanistan and many other countries, our generation has sent loved ones and friends to fight on foreign lands. As a result we now have immediate faces that pop into our mind when we think of the word Veteran.
Tomorrow, whether young or old, take the time to find a Veteran and thank them personally for the service they have put in defending our country. Not only will it put a smile on their face, they will know how truly appreciated they really are.
To all the Vets here on FU, I salute and thank you from my heart. x0x0x0x0
