THANK YOU, VETERANS

The following was written by Derek Mirdala at www.digitalsportspage.com

I'm spoiled living in this county, and it's easy to take things like liberty and freedom for granted.

I'm 30 years old, and for most of my life Veteran's Day was about some of our grandfathers, old men in funny hats, and lame parades.

No longer.

It took me a long while to really get the proper perspective, but for the past couple of years on this day I've considered the sacrifices made by the men and women of this country who have fought and died for my freedom, and I am awed, chilled, and overwhelmed.

'Thank you' is not enough, yet it is all we have.

Thank you, veterans, of all generations.
