Today is November 11, 2005…Veterans Day…quietly celebrated here... 

Let’s put aside red state vs. blue state, pro- or anti-Bush, pro- or anti-Iraq War, sexist-or-not opinions and take just a moment to think of and thank the men and women who have served our Country throughout our history. Even better, thank the moms, dads, spouses, brothers, sisters, sons, daughters, and other family members whose loved ones have served. Their sacrifices are every bit as great as those in uniform.
