Take time to honor a veteran

Veterans Day – a day to honor the veterans of all branches of our Armed Forces. In 1999, a postage stamp was issued to honor those who served.  Please take a moment and reflect on what the sacrifices by these individuals has meant to your family, the nation and our way of life.  Veterans have taught us much and we should learn from history and guard against a degradation of  a weakened American defense –no small public relations challenge.

This Veterans Day, please take a moment to thank a veteran for their significant sacrifice. Not sure you know any veterans? They are everywhere. Every age.  Every race.  Every social status.  You will find them at the store and in the office.  At the gym and in the restaurant.  Hiking. Biking. At  the post office.  Shake their hand.  Let them know you appreciate them.

So today, honor and recognize all of our American service members, past and present, and salute them for service to our country, both in uniform and out.  Send me any names of those you know and I will post them here.
