Today is Veteran's Day. Originally, this holiday was called Armistice Day to honor the end of the first World War. Some time later (After World War Two, I think) the name and the holiday were changed to what we know today.
All of you know someone who is a veteran; some fought in wars, some helped to protect the peace. Either way, all of them made some sacrifice to help defend our way of life. Without the veteran, the poet, the painter, the teacher, or the even the politician and the lawyer would not exist as we know them today. Thank one.
