Gratitude and Remembrance

It's Veterans Day. My mother always called it "Armistice Day," which of course it was until after World War II. I used to roll my eyes because she wouldn't update the name of the holiday, probably like many young people do now when I insist on saying "Columbus Day." As we said in the '60s, the beat goes on.

The fact remains that, regardless of what we call it, this is a day to honor and appreciate all the men and women who stepped forward to serve and protect our country. Remember to thank a veteran in your life today. We can never thank them enough.
