Veteran's Day

It was Veteran's Day yesterday a time to reflect on the loss of warriors over the years. Of my family most of the "men folk" have served I am the only female in my family to have served. Most of my career Veteran's Day was spent marching down the avenue in New York City. During that time we would be surrounded by veterans and survivors. Yesterday while enjoying a number of meals by local restaurants who honor the warriors and their families, I found I was once again surrounded by the same. I found it quite welcoming to sit with warriors and veterans of many wars.

I thank the restaurants and the citizens who support the veterans. I know that in the past my brothers and sisters in arms did not receive this same treatment. I also want to thank those who currently serve, have served, continue to serve in other capacities, and the families who stand behind them.
