Salute The Veterans!

No matter what you think of the war in Iraq, or the war in Afghanistan, or the Vietnam War, or any other war or conflict that has involved American military personnel, or for that matter, even in peace time, we owe a very deep respect to the men and women in uniform who serve or who have served this country. Thousands have lost their lives, many thousands more were wounded or injured, and none came home unscathed emotionally. The freedoms we enjoy today were bought or protected with the blood and emotional sacrifice of many brave Americans. So, forget momentarily the politics of war and conflict and give a big THANK YOU to the American military personnel, both past and present. Whatever your beliefs, a moment of silence or a prayer certainly would be appropriate.
