I'm not very good at expressing feelings but I thought something needed said about Veterans Day. This year, as we teeter on the verge of yet another conflict, our nation's veterans sense the emotions of those currently in uniform. Their thoughts return to their own times of service and pray for the safety of their brothers and sisters.    This was copied from a VFW site and expresses what, I think, all Americans should be reflecting upon this Veterans Day.   On the 11th hour…of the 11th day…of the 11th month…the fighting of World War I ended in 1918.
