My father was a Navy Veteran of World War One. We always flew our Stars and Stripes on appropriate Holidays. I always "helped" put up and take our flag down, so I learned at an early age about flying the flag. I always remember on November 11 that it was the 11th day of the 11th month at the 11th hour that the treaty of Versailles was signed ending the "Great War". Today Veterans Day holds an expanded meaning far beyond the recognition for Veterans of one war. Today we should think of and pray for all those who currently serve our country all over the world. We should think of those Veterans who live with their battle scars, be it physical, or some invisible scar they carry with them. Those Veterans who struggle adjusting to civilian life, finding a job, getting an education, living their dreams, coping with injuries.
We need to show them the respect they have earned and deserve. Today remember those who serve our country, who protect the cause of freedom. Thank a Veteran!
