A Veteran’s Day Thank You

Veteran's DayOn this Veteran’s Day, I’d like to thank all of our military veterans for their service. This country owes you a debt of gratitude we cannot possibly repay appropriately. Your sacrifice and service are deeply appreciated.

This picture and text posted by Joe Carter from World Magazine’s blog say it better than I ever could:

“Pearl Harbor survivor Houston James embraces Marine Staff Sgt. Mark Graunke Jr. during a Veterans Day commemoration last year in Dallas. Graunke, a member of a Marine ordnance-disposal team, lost a hand, leg, and eye while defusing a bomb in Iraq in July of 2003. A poignant reminder that for some people, every day is Veterans’ Day.”
