It is strange to say "HAPPY" in front of this holiday, because it is ashamed that we must still have men and woman in uniform to protect us. We world is no less barbaric then it was 100, 1000, or 10,000 years ago. In some ways, it may be worse.
In any case, I plan to take a moment and actually say "THANK YOU" to those men and woman I see today, who I KNOW have, or are serving in our military and who, even if they never fought or were never wounded, took the risk and really gave of themselves to keep all of us free.
You may have the day off, or go shopping at all the sales today, but do you ALSO take any time to think about what this holiday is about and maybe also take that moment to say "THANK YOU" to those who have served? Memorial Day, we cannot face those who gave the "ultimate sacrifice" for our well being, but on Veterans Day, we can DIRECTLY thank those who are due our appreciation.
SO..what are YOU doing "different" today?
