In the spirit of the intention of Veterans day

I would like to extend my appreciation and sincere thanks to the veterans that have helped protect this country. I understand, in the current climate of this country, it appears the veteran appreciation is not promoted as much as it should be, but I hope if any veterans read this you understand that I and many others resprect your courage and strength in accomplishing your missions both past and present.

Song lyric of the day
"I just got my first letter since I've been here
And I read it a hundred times since yesterday
It was warm relief from this chilly cage of fear
And it promised me that more were on the way"
Caroline's Spine -- "Soldier Song"
