Saturday November 11th is Veteran's day. If you work for the government, you got to take Friday off. For most of us, we only think about it if we try to go to the post office and discover that it's closed.
As the father of a son who served in Iraq and who will be returning to the region next year, I think of our all-volunteer armed forces and am very grateful that they are willing to take up arms to fight for our rights and the rights of others. I hope you will pause and remember those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice and those who now serve so that we can enjoy the freedoms we do.
In a similar vein, my son and daughter-in-law met while she was working on a documentary. It deals with my son's Marine Reserve unit and how they adjusted to life back in the US after their deployment. It was picked up by PBS and is in post production now. Here's a web site for the film.
