Hug a Veteran

The eleventh day of the eleventh month is reserved (no pun intended) for veterans. Ceremonies are held and speeches are made. Only one family member of mine fought in a war, and he has never had any desire to talk about his experience. I did find out this evening someone from my high school class in in Iraq now, but I haven't seen him in ten years.

If you're a veteran reading this, I want to thank you for helping to keep this great nation safe.

I leave you with this story about how American improvisation saved one soldier's life.
