I put my American flag out this morning, as I always do on National Holidays. I was thinking that this holiday, along with July 4th, as being one of the most appropriate times to display the Stars and Bars to show our gratitude to those who have put their lives aside to honor and protect it and us. We owe a lot to our veterans, those living and dead. I heard over the weekend that only 1% of the U.S. population is serving or has served in our nation’s armed forces. I’d like to thank all for their service. Some in popular wars. Some in unpopular wars. Some volunteered. Some were drafted. Thanks to you all.
