Aloha, KapohoJoe. Agreed. Not to be confused with Veteran's Day (is what we told the kids), we must also remember those who are still here, who have also made a great sacrifice. We MUST help our Veterans who are living today; there should be no question. (I'm smoking a cigarette upstairs, catching up on reading/taking a break). Have a lovely evening.
There are a few things that come to mind in reflection, and these kind of quotes remind me of our charge:
“The brave die never, though they sleep in dust: Their courage nerves a thousand living men.” -- Minot J. Savage
“They are dead; but they live in each Patriot’s breast, And their names are engraven on honor’s bright crest.” -- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
“I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country.” -- Nathan Hale
Profound words.
To all branches of service. We salute you. Mahalo.
