Today we observe Veterans Day, a time set aside each year to thank and honor all of those whose have served in our military. Until 1954, it was celebrated as Armistice Day, when the guns of World War I went silent at 11:00am on November 11, 1918.

When our nation is victorious, we do not punish the vanquished, rather we reach out to them a hand of friendship and pull them up. We would all do well to remember this example in our everyday life.<\/p>\n
