Veteran's Day

Today is the day we remember those we fought and sacrificed (limbs, lives, time) to defend their country. We must separate the people from the policy and honor them. Doing so has been relegated to the placing of magnets on cars, but I hope people understand honoring them is not just thinking about them once or twice a year, but also to not take our freedoms for granted. I also hope that our leaders will no longer dishonor their sacrifices by sending them to war unnecessarily or by using them as political tools. Nor by forgetting them when they come home, which I hope will be soon and safe.
