I will be off tomorrow for the holiday, so I wanted to wish you a happy Veterans Day. As I previously mentioned, I grew up as a military brat (those who have one or both parents serving in the military) and this is a holiday that we tend to take seriously, as we have witnessed first-hand the sacrifices and hardships that veterans endure in service to their country. The Department of Veterans Affairs website is a great resource if you would like to find out more about this holiday:
Tuesday, November 11, is a day to honor all the men and women who have served in America's armed forces and to thank them for that service. For information on the history of Veterans Day, this year's national and regional observances, to read the President's 2008 Veterans Day Proclamation or to download this year's Veterans Day poster, visit www.va.gov/vetsday.
As you go about your business tomorrow I hope you have an opportunity in word or action to say thank you to a veteran, and please feel free to use the comments link below to share with us your efforts to honor our veterans.
