I’m taking a moment to honor Veterans Day. Originally established by President Woodrow Wilson to mark the end of World War I the day now recognizes the service and sacrifice of veterans of all our wars. The VA website has a nice historical overview if you would like to learn more. As a “military brat” I have a great deal of respect for the men and women of the U.S. armed forces and the personal commitment and sacrifices they make when they volunteer to serve. Any discussion of the U.S. role in the world would be incomplete without acknowledging the role our veterans have played in securing the promise of liberty for people, and entire countries, all over the world.
