TAKE TIME TO REMEMBER OUR VETERANS

It’s sad, really, that so many of us are at work today, the day on which we observe Veterans Day this year.  Our 21st century “go-go” life obliterates this day of observance, as well as other days set aside for remembering people and events once thought worthy of such an honor.  Over 17 million people died in World War I alone.  It was the end of that war that set the stage for what we now call “Veterans Day” here and “Remembrance Day” in many other countries.  Indeed, many other countries, including our neighbors to the north, do set-aside this day for its intended purpose.  Take some time out of your day to day to remember our veterans – both here and departed – and remember that their sacrifices give us the ability to do our work, support our families, and build our communities.
