Today sadden me..

Today is Veteran's Day... and some places will honor

those who have served and are still serving...

But it sadden me because the students are in school today.

The banks are closed, the post office is closed.. so tell me

why is it the students are in school?  Hopefully the

school are having an assembly for a program.. honoring

local veterans.  Hopefully they understand from the time

of World War I, World War II, Korean war (no I don't call

it a police action, when they are shooting at each other...

and then there is the Vietnam War...and I don't know what

they call this we are doing now.. it is war.. but not like the

war of years ago, where you go after each other, shooting

it out.. this war is so much different...  And our soldier,

our troops, need to be honored... by all.  And because they

have gone ... our youth who volunteered.. who were not

drafted... have stepped up for you and I. THANK YOU..

So to all of you who have served... and to all of you who

are serving now... We thank you for your service.. and we

are sorry that you have to be put in such a position. We can

only hope that some day.. people will stop hating others..

But in the meantime.. THANK YOU.. ALL OF YOU..
