Happy Veterans' Day

Deepest thanks to our veterans for their selfless sacrifice on behalf of our nation. Regardless of political persuasion, this is something we all should be able to agree upon. Those who can't need to learn the distinction between our troops and the missions on which the government sends them. Regardless of how you feel about the political decision to go to Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam, etc. you should recognize that our military is what stands between us and enemies who would do us and our families harm and honor them for doing so. War is not caused by soldiers. It is caused by politicians, with soldiers paying the heavy toll regardless of the reason for them being there. Thank you again to them.
