"The veterans of our military
services have put their lives on the line to protect the freedoms that we
enjoy. They have dedicated their lives
to their country and deserve to be recognized for their commitment."
~ Judd Gregg
At an early
morning service commemorating Veterans' Day this week, I heard a veteran talk
about serving in the Vietnam War.
Soft-spoken and modest, he said what most of us are fortunate not to
have experienced: "war is
hell." After the ceremony, he
shared with a few of us that he had won a Bronze Star and other honors for
flying a number of missions. Those of us
who are blessed to live in peace enjoy it thanks to the sacrifice of so many
veterans, current members of the military, and all of their families. We owe them a debt of gratitude for their
bravery, service and kindness.
