Thank you for fighting to keep us safe.

"On the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month..."

On this day, we celebrate, not only the end of World War I, but the accomplishments of the many veterans of our armed forces. Whatever name one might recognize it by - Armistice Day, Remembrance Day, Veterans Day - we acknowledge the sacrifices of those who gave their todays to ensure our tomorrows.

This Veterans Day may be especially hard on some veterans because of recent tragic events in Afghanistan. If you have veterans in your life, especially combat veterans or those whose fellow soldiers saw combat, please reach out. You don't even need to talk about anything serious if that's not something they need - just be there.

(Jk) if you feel like wearing a santa hat, that's fine, too. I'm just gonna wait until after Thanksgiving.

Mmh! ALSO, happy Veteran's day.

Howdy folks,

Most years I write a reflection on Veterans Day (Remembrance Day in many countries). This year, I regretfully do not have time. Instead, I would like to issue a simple call to action:

Charities are hit hard by COVID. Veterans charities are suffering right now. That means veterans are suffering. Men and women coming home from war often need help for any number of reasons, ranging from a lack of employment to dealing with post traumatic stress or physical disabilities.

So much has the world known pain and death since the beginning but, never before has the world faced the horrors ever before like WW2 and countless other wars.

I'd like for all of us to remember those who've given up their lives so that we, the current and the future generations to come, may live peacefully and avoid the horrors they've gone through.

Humans are imperfect beings. Yet, we strive to improve, both ourselves and those around us. We try to make the world better. We sacrifice for each other. In a word, we love each other.

The most heroic act of love we can conceive is to lay down one’s life for another, whether that be in the sense of dying to self in living sacrifice for another, or in giving one’s life to protect another.
