Today, November 11, is the day set aside originally as Armistice Day, to commemorate the Armistice signed to end World War One. That peace was very short lived and along came World War Two. Shortly after, Armistice Day was changed to Veterans Day, a day set aside now to commemorate Veterans of all conflicts.

Since WW2 the world has seen several "little" wars, as some refer to them. Korea, Viet Nam, Northern Ireland, Granada, Desert Storm, the War on Terror and the current main battle of that war, Iraq.

Even though they may not be held in the same esteem as the "greater" wars, all have one thing in common, men and women, who gave of themselves when their countries called and endured unthinkable horrors and at times, total boredom. Some came back whole. Some came back broken. Some did not come back at all. But, all gave of themselves.

To all my brothers and sisters that stood and performed their duty to promote and protect the world's freedom, I say Thank You and I hope you all receive the thanks and honor we are all due.

Welcome Home and Thank You Veterans.

I would like to thank all veterans from past and present wars for your honorable and noble service. Though today war is not popular, and some have no stomach for it, or the truth of it, that does not in no way ever diminish the selfless sacrafice each and every one of you made.

From a Patriot, who wishes I could have done more, to those Patriots that gave the ultimate sacrifice, happy Veterans Day!
