Keep veterans in your thoughts this week
A hero can be defined as a person admired for their courage, nobility or bold deeds.
This week we honor such individuals. This Wedneday, Nov. 11 is Veterans Day.
It’s a day reserved to show our appreciation for those military veterans who fought on the battlefields of Europe; or by sea in the Pacific Ocean; or along the 39th parallel in Korea; or in the jungles of Vietnam; the sandy soil of Iraq; the rocky terrain of Afghanistan; or many other places.
They fought to preserve our freedoms and way of life and to better the lives of countless others around the world.
Below is a poem which effectively illustrates their love of country and many sacrifices to serve this great nation.
We should always be thankful.
