November 11, 2018 marked the one hundred year anniversary of the armistice to end the War to End All Wars, as it was called at the time of the armistice in 1918.

If only that first worldwide war did end all wars. Then there would be no need to call it World War I when the world found itself in the midst of another worldwide war called World War II.

As is still the case one hundred years later, men and women respond to the call to put their lives on the line. They face enemy fire to protect the freedoms we hold dear at home and abroad.

Men and women still die in battle.

Families still grieve their loss.

All gave some. Some gave all.

In honor of Veterans Day on November 11, to all those who served and those serving now, thank you.

Thank you also to the families who sacrificed right alongside their loved ones in service to our country.

Our veterans deserve our thanks every day, not just on the special days set aside on a calendar.

Please remember their sacrifice. And be grateful.
