"To my fellow veterans past and present; I wish to extend my heartfelt thanks and appreciation to all of you, my brethren. On this day, (I believe) the American people do honor and appreciate our service to this country. No where in the world is there a nation quite like ours. We owe everything we have to our veterans. “Always faithful, true and service to country” are the parables in the carrying out of orders be each veteran serving. On this Veteran’s Day, November 11th shall always be THE day dedicated to the brave men and women of our armed forces."
President Barack Obama
Recently, it has been reported in certain circles that President Obama wants to ‘combine’ September 11th (or Patriot’s Day) with Veteran’s Day and rename it; “National Service Day.” If this is true, this veteran says; “ABSOLUTELY NOT!” November 11th is OUR DAY and ought to stay as such. When (if) this should ever make it to Congress, I HIGHLY DOUBT that it will pass. The American People would be so incensed that Congress (regardless of party) would take heed. Email the President or any member of his cabinet and let your opinion count! Click on the White House link below:
“With the greatest of sincerity and admiration for my fellow veterans, we can and must do more. Veterans are owed an enormous amount of gratitude, one of which might never can be repaid. Sacrifice, duty, honor, service to country are the hallmarks of what it means to be a veteran…God Bless my fellow veterans…thank you!'”
