May I pause this Veterans' Day and offer my sincere thanks and gratitude to every man and woman living and passed who served in the various military branches of the United States. The commitment, dedication and sometimes ultimate sacrifice is duly noted with grateful humbleness.
As noted, in some instances wives, children, mothers, fathers and siblings were forced to pick up pieces of broken lives while others were oblivious to such pain. I was old enough to recall the tears and angst of my own mother as she waited two-years for my father to return from the World War II battlefields of Germany and France.
On this Veterans' Day may this Nation pause and think Thanksgiving.
(Touch)A Special Salute
