Every day Veterans Day

Every day is Veterans Day to a veteran. The sales advertised across the nation for Veterans Day are prime examples of how grateful Americans really are. We will continue to fight and die for our nation's monetary interests, while our nation continues to see war for something that it is not.

As a three-tour Iraq war vet, with many friends still involved in two wars, I say give your veterans a loving hug whenever possible. Talk to them about their experiences. Develop a new perspective. Our veterans have more to offer than most people care to acknowledge. Whatever stance you hold, just remember that without our warriors we are surely doomed.
