Remembering Veterans Day . . .

Veterans Day should remind us of the debt of gratitude we own our military men and women who have fought to preserve our country. Too often the politics of war is taken out on our soldiers who are only doing their jobs. Veterans Day is a time to bow our heads and pray for the people who care enough about our country to defend it. It is really sad that stores and consumers seem to consider this a holiday from work and a chance to lure people into the stores for 'Veterans Day Sales'. How much we lose when we forget what we lost!

Here is a brief history of how this day of rememberance came into being:
