A Salute To All Veterans Today November 11, 2008
Tuesday, November 11th, 2008 @ 12:33 pm | We Think
Today we honor the service and sacrifice made by the troops in our United States Armed Forces. The soldiers of our country have performed their duties well. We must respect what the men and women of our military units do, even though we may disagree with the mission. It is a job many of us are unwilling to do.
“A man who is good enough to shed his blood for his country is good enough to be given a square deal afterwards. More than that no man is entitled to, and less than that no man shall have.â€
This quote from Theodore Roosevelt, the 26th President of The United States, who served from 1901 to 1909, a soldier himself, reminds us to provide for our returning veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
If you know of any veterans in your community, vets from the current wars or other wars do your part to help them and their families. There is a web site established by Iraq and Afghanistan veterans to help other veterans. The site uses 21st Century technology to form a private, safe caring community online for soldiers returning from the war. Watch the video for more information.
