“Remember, it is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, who salutes the flag, who serves beneath the flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag, who allows the protester to burn the flag.”
Thanks Veterans, God Bless you all!

Veterans surround us in our everyday lives, we are free because of them. While we should celebrate them everyday, this day is especially for them. I make it a point, whenever I see someone who i know has served, to thank them -- and you should too, regardless of your political affliation.
While we can't always be at a memorial you can look at any information on memorials online and read stories.
Celebrate with an Americanized dinner, and give thanks before you enjoy it, to our soldiers, both past and present. Veterans day is, after all, an occasion.
the very best, always,
alexandra
