Veterans Day

Gary, there were a lot of us who received “lesser” welcomes ( I flew back home through SFO in 71) but vividly recall that touching this land trumped most of the bad I encountered. All vets are heroes in my book and those who’ve never served missed an honor that I will forever be thankful for. Still trying to process the war in some regards and suspect many of us feel likewise. Do; however, disagree in that I think there will always be those who are willing to answer the call if only because they will know of the sacrifices that have been paid forward by so many. History can be edited every which way but as long the great Memorials stand and they change the honor guard at Arlington everybody will know there’s a debt due.
