Opening The Files: Veteran's Day 2006
Today is Veteran's Day, the day we honor the men and women of the armed services, both past and present, without whose sacrifice we would never know those freedoms which we hold most dear and sometimes take for granted.
At this very hour some eighty years ago, a war ended. And never was there a more appropriate day to honor those sacrifices than on a day commemorating the end of war. For to see an end to war is the ultimate goal of any soldier, sailor or Marine.
To my cousin Joseph, and the thousands of others currently serving in Iraq and around the globe, I wish you well and pray you return to us safe. You serve this country with honor and no amount of praise can ever be enough to adequately acknowledge the debt we owe to all of you.
Firedoglake: Thank You.
John Soltz: Honoring Those Who Served.
TruthDig: On Veterans Day.
The Nation: Veteran's Day: America and Iraq.
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: Veterans Day 2006
Phillip Carter: Extraordinary Acts of Valor.
The Moderate Voice: In Remembrance and Heartfelt Thanks.
