Tomorrow is Veteran's Day and even with a war going on I'm not sure that people stop to actually think about what that means. When I was young, there was a draft and lots of young men (no women then) waited each year to see if their number would be drawn. There was a war then too and it lasted far too long and cost far too many lives.
It's too easy to dismiss the war because it doesn't affect most Americans - except as pictures on the evening news or online. But there are real people - men and women - fighting, suffering and dying.
To all Veteran's, past and present - THANK YOU for serving - your sacrifice and your family's sacrifice is truly appreciated.
