Veterans' Day, 2012


Veterans’ Day. We have them in the family. Many families do. They are no longer grizzled old men who fought the Battle of the Bulge or even at Busan (Pusan). These are young men and women whose memories are of Iran, Iraq, Kuwait  and Afghanistan. They may be veterans’ of one deployment knowing that another lies ahead. They too have seen horrors we do not even dream. All of them, old and grey, young and returning, home for good from whatever job they were assigned, they are all heroes. They have all said Yes to the call of country and been willing to stand between evil and the triumph of good assuring the latter to the best of their ability. God bless them all. They have our eternal gratitude.
