OT Veteran's Day

Regardless of how you feel about the war in Iraq, today is Veteran's Day. At 11:00AM on this day in 1918 the Armistace to end WW1 was enacted. It was essentially written as a 20 year guarantee of peace which was broken in Europe starting WW 2 there almost exactoy 20 years later...

And in both those wars and many others American soldiers fought. Some were killed. Most came home.

When you have the freedom to complain about the Government here in the US or you complain about the health care system you can thank a Veteran. When you have the freedom to walk out the front door of your home and feel safe or you go shopping and don't have to drive there wondering if you are going to hit a land mine.. you can thank a Veteran.

Today I wish for the wars to end and for peace to prevail and for all of our young men and women everywhere to be able to come home.
