>     There are many celebrations today and I'm sure this weekend, remember
> to teach your children and others that Veterans Day truely has a meaning
> and is a day we should all hold in a special spot in our thoughts. Without
> our Veterans I can only speculate what this great nation would have become,
> While this Veterans Day was not formed until the after the "11th hour of
> the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918 ", the end of World War I and
> formerly called Armistice Day I often reflect back and think about the
> Veterans that fought for our freedoms in the Revolutionary War, French and
> Indian War, The Civil War just to name a few.
>
>     So in short, when your out and about, when you see a World War II
> Veteran, Korean War Veteran, Vietnam War Veteran, Global War on Terrorism
> Veteran or Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans reach-out, say thank you for your
> service, buy their coffee, just one way or another let them know you
> appreciate their service to a Grateful Nation.
>
> Respectfully, and sincerely thankful for our Veterans
