In the 60s, whilst in elementary school, it was called Armistice Day. A day to remember- the treaty signed to end World War One- the war to end all wars. Today in our nation it is Veterans Day, a day to remember the veterans, dead and alive, who have served this nation with honor. Many of us are against wars, even a militia- but, I suppose, it is a necessary thing to have men and women at the ready to defend one's nation. I fly my flag today in honor of these heroic beings. My brothers Sergio and Roger served in Vietnam, as well as my good friend Jim Ellison. Jim Ravenell served in Desert Storm, back in the early 1990s. My nephew Cesar served in Iraq, twice. I have students I taught that have been deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan, and luckily they have come back; as well as parents of students I've taught. God bless you men and women and know you are thanked and remembered.
