Veterans Day

Veterans Day is a time to reflect on the many contributions our veterans have made -- and the sacrifices that go along with it. The men and women who choose to serve in our Armed Forces are doing something truly extraordinary.

This year I lost a friend in the Armed Forces and how tough that is but more so how proud we are of him.  My grandfathers and father served in the Armed Forces, and I take the time today to reflect upon their sacrifices and many contributions. 

Whether we agree with the wars, or the politics around them or not, we respect those that serve.  We go to the graveside of the fallen with respect, reverence and leave our agenda, politics and views at the gate.  This is no place for protest, or religious views or rants.  This is sacred ground.

“Grant me the Serenity to accept the things I can not change, Courage to change the things I can, and Wisdom to know the difference.” – Dr. Reinhold Niebuhr (excerpt from the Serenity Prayer)


Today my friends, we honor those that wear the uniform and show our thanks, gratitude and respect.
