Tomorrow is Veterans Day. The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs says that Veterans Day is largely intended to thank veterans for their service, to acknowledge that their contributions to U.S. national security are appreciated, and to underscore the fact that all those who served - not only those who died - have sacrificed and done their duty. Veterans Day is celebrated the same day as Armistice Day, which is the anniversary of the signing of the armistice that ended WWI in 1918. The major hostilities of World War I were formally ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918. Read President Bush's well-written and appropriate Veterans Day proclamation here.

"We sleep safe in our beds because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do us harm." ---George Orwell. Let us never forget their sacrifice yet always remember to give thanks to our veterans whom have given so much for our country. God Bless the U.S.A.
