It's Veteran's Day

I feel strange saying “Happy Veteran’s Day” because I don’t think it’s a day one should be happy about. Appreciative, thankful, and grateful are all better words to use to describe how I feel about Veteran’s Day.

To all the veterans, and current members of our military: Thank You. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your courage and your sacrifice. As an American, I am grateful for your service and for the service of all those that came before you. Regardless of race, gender, age, or religion, you are all heroes in my book.

Thank you for everything

I am glad I was lucky enough to be born in America. I can disagree with the government without fear of imprisonment. I can disagree with religion without fear of being stoned to death.

I can have black friends, Chinese friends, straight friends, gay friends, religious friends, atheist friends, and many others without fear of government or religious persecution.

We, as Americans, can afford these luxuries because of the sacrifices of the brave men and women of our Armed Forces. Whether it is a sacrifice of too much time spent away from your loved ones...
