Thank you to all those who have served in our armed forces... those who made it home, and those who haven't.

Also, let us not forget that the roots of Veterans Day lie in Armistice Day... which is also celebrated today in most of Europe. It is the anniversary of the signing of the armistance that ended World War I... the "War to End All Wars".  We celebrate all veterans today, not just the few who still survive from World War I, but I think it is also important to celebrate peace... the end of war.  Those men knew they were coming home on that day.  So while we honor those brave men and women who are actively fighting in foreign lands, the point of the day is also to remember a time when those men and women will be home with their families.
