November 11 is by tradition, the day in which we recognize Veterans of the United States military. Hopefully, we remember and express our gratitude towards these individuals on more than just one appointed day a year. I have been fortunate enough to have known some of these outstanding persons that have worked hard to defend our freedom(s) here in America. Whether having just listened to a World War II veteran speak briefly or having sat down and conversed with those that have served in Iraq recently, my appreciation for these are one and the same. I pray that we would always take time to simply say thank you to these brave men and women when we encounter them. Though thank you seems so inadequate, it means a great deal to those that deserve to be thanked.
