Thank You Veterans...Past and Present

I'll start by saying that it's a travesty that Veteran's Day is celebrated on a Wednesday while Labor Day is on a Monday, giving us a three day weekend to celebrate...the Labor Movement? How the hell did that happen? But I digress. This day isn't about me, it isn't about our politicians (thought they will all use it for their photo ops), and it isn't about the American people who all too often take their freedoms for granted. No, this day is about you. I'm not even going to comment on your Commander And Chief today, though my fingers are now bleeding for having typed that. But it's not about him. It's about all of you. I can sit here in suburbia with my heat set at 70 and a beer in my hand, posting things on the Internet, without any worries because of you. I can take my family out to a restaurant this weekend without worrying about a suicide bomber blowing the place up because of you. I can go to my nice, safe, well paying job tomorrow because of all of you. So tonight I'm just going to say thank you and leave it at that. It's not enough, but it's all I've got. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You.
