Veteran's Day, 2016

I just couldn't let Veteran's Day pass without saying something about it.  Still, this isn't merely some obligatory "better say something nice about veterans because it's Veteran's Day" post; I got something really profound to say regarding veterans and those who serve our country.  And here it is...

I make it a point to always thank those who have served our country.

Whenever I meet someone who serves or has served our country, active or retired, I always make it a point to thank them for their service.  Some might find it silly, but then again, these brave men and women risked life and limb for us.  To paraphrase what some various wise men have said in the past, "they are those who sleep badly so that the rest of us can sleep well."  They deserve my gratitude - our gratitude - and so much more.

Happy Veteran's Day, America.
