In the USA November 11 used to be called Armistice Day and then was changed years later to Veterans' Day. It is a time to pause, reflect, and be thankful for all of the men and women who have sacrificed so much up to and including their lives so that we have been able to live free for over 200 years. We should also be thankful for the spouses, parents and children of the people who have served or are serving in our military forces. They give up so much when a spouse or parent is away while children are growing up. When a life is lost they all grieve and must carry on. We need to remember that.
When I see in the news that too many young boys are attacking people for no reason, playing a game called Knock Out; it makes me ill. They think they are being macho, but if they want to find out what macho really is then they should enlist in the Army, Navy, Marines or Air Force. They would quickly find out that they really are just punk hoodlums and not tough guys. They need to get a grip, get a goal, and grow up to take their rightful place in society. No matter age, education, health, or wealth, all of us can do something to make our country a better place.
On this day I encourage everyone to be thankful and to think of ways to
