Happy Veterans Day
In addition to being 11/11/11, today is also special because it is Veterans Day. It’s the day set aside to pay tribute to the men and women who have “put country before self” and have served in the US Armed Forces.
Although I am not a veteran myself, I have a great deal of respect and affection for those who are and I don’t think they get nearly the amount of respect and praise they deserve.
I am so very proud that many of my family members and friends have served their country. To them, and all veterans, I say, “Thank you for your service to our country.”
Cindy and I had a great time this morning. We have a tradition of taking bagels and doughnuts into work and inviting the veterans in our office to have breakfast with us. It’s not a huge gesture, but it’s nice and it’s what we can do. Everyone seems to enjoy and appreciate it. I can’t wait to do it again next year.
We should honor our veterans every day, but let’s make a special point to do so today.
God bless,
