    A quote posted by cpslacker:

    "It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the organizer, who gave us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves beneath the flag and whose coffin is draped by the flag, who allows the protester to burn the flag." – Father Dennis Edward O’Brien, USMC

    I know people say "happy..." but I'm sure for a lot of you it's full of heart ache and tragic rememberence. Thank you ladies and gentlemen for your service to this country. No words can do justice to the act of giving up your freedoms and lives to make sure we have ours.

    Veterans Day is today. Thank you all who served this country. On this Veterans Day could we do something above and beyond and reach out to those in need. There are numerous programs to help Veterans; but please take a minute or two and look at the Wounded Warrior program http://www.woundedwarriorproject.org/

    There are thousands of veterans out there suffering; missing a leg, missing an arm – and some even worse. While those with “known” injuries continue to try and move their life forward, let us remember some are suffering from invisible injuries; Post-Traumatic-Stress-Disorder (PTSD) is nightmare that never ends. These are men and women who gave everything for this country.

    16.6% of Non-Active Duty Wounded Warriors are unemployed.
    59.8% of Wounded Warrior Veterans feel their life has little or no meaning.
    78.1% of Wounded Warriors have a friend who was killed or wounded while on a deployment.

    I challenge everyone to forego something small for one day and give something. If you can’t give money, maybe you could reach out to that one Veteran you might know and just say thank you and offer to help in some way.

    PurringMyrrh Thank you for the kind post. Whereas I can't speak for anyone other than me, I served this Country because even with the heartache(s) and tragic remembrance - I did what was needed so that others didn't have to. To me, serving my country (being a Veteran) was worth enough even if just one person said "Thank you".
