Honor vets on their day

As a proud U.S. Air Force retiree and former VFW post commander who is preparing for Veterans Day, I find it tragic that so many of my fellow Americans view Nov. 11 as just another day off work.

With wars on two fronts – and the Veterans Affairs workload topping 1 million claims – it’s time for all Americans to remember the true meaning of Veterans Day.

I hope everyone in our area will remember what Veterans Day is all about. Call one of our local VFW posts to take part in our ceremonies.

And as we near the holidays, please keep our deployed troops and their families in your prayers. Always remember those who have fought for your freedom!
