Last Tuesday, Election Day, we encouraged our readers to vote “as payment of a debt of honor” to our country’s Founding Fathers and the millions of Americans who fought and died to keep this country free.
Today we should all take a moment to specially honor those American servicemen and women – our “veterans.” And if you know any veterans, or any Americans currently serving in the military, it wouldn’t be a bad time to say “Thank You.”
Because this is a political blog, however, we want to offer the following “political” quote that seems even more applicable today than ever before:
“But this Veterans Day, I believe we should do more than sing the praises of the bravery and patriotism that our veterans have embodied in the past. We should take this opportunity to re-evaluate how we are treating our veterans in the present.”
Congressman Nick Lampson (D. Texas)
And that, folks, means providing them with top-notch and continuing medical care, educational opportunities and jobs.
