It would be unfortunate, as a letter-to-the-editor writer recently observed, if we forgot to mark Veterans Day, which is being observed today around the nation.
This is the day to honor all those who have served in the armed forces, particularly those who have fought on the battlefields around the globe in defense of the liberty and freedom Americans hold so dear.
Let us never forget the sacrifices that have been made on behalf of this country by those serving in uniform.
It is an honor and a privilege to salute the men and women whose service to duty and honor have made this nation great.
