Today is Veteran’s Day, a day that the government saw fit to declare a legal national holiday as a day to remember and honor all Veterans of our many wars.  I’m not sure if it was originally meant to only honor those veterans who have died, or if it was originally meant to honor all veterans.  I guess I should be embarrassed to admit that.  I guess its just that I think that all veterans should be thanked today, especially those who are still alive to enjoy and appreciate our thanks!  Laying wreaths and flags on graves is all well and good, but I think that saying “thanks” while they are still alive is a lot more meaningful to that individual person.  So to all of you veterans out there, alive or deceased, I want to extend a very heartfelt “Thank you” for all of the sacrifices you have made for our country.  You are all heroes in my book.
