Veterans Day...A national holiday..A day to honor those who have or do now serve in the Armed Forces..those who have given their lives and who, on this very day, risk their lives in Iraq, or Afghanistan, or where ever that duty calls...
Feeling sorry for myself this A.M., wondering why as a veteran, I and other veterans have to work on what's considered "our" day of recognition..
But then I woke up and realized, Do the troops in Iraq get the day off?? not quite...
Some where, as I write, troops are huddled, preparing for battle, risking their lives...so I'll take my day at work and honor them the best I can by keeping them in my thoughts and prayers...Be safe fellow veterans and get your asses home...
Peace.
