Reverence and Respect, All The Time.

91 years ago today, in 1918, an armistice was signed to end the first World War. One year later, President Woodrow Wilson declared the first Armistice Day, to commemorate the event. Within ten years, the holiday would become our modern Veterans Day: “a day to be dedicated to the cause of world peace”.

In the aftermath of the horrible Fort Hood shootings, it becomes necessary for us to take a step back and really express our gratitude to those who give of themselves on a daily basis to protect our very lives. As we fight wars on all sides of the world, take a moment today to remember those who have given their lives for our freedom.

This isn’t a progressive or a conservative issue: this is just the right thing to do.
