On Veterans Day we honor all of the men and women who have worn or will wear a uniform in brave and selfless service to our country. While this pause of gratitude feels inadequate given the sacrifices made, we thank you for your courage and answering the call of duty, for preserving our freedom and our liberty, and for showing us patriotism in action.
While covid-19 prevents us from our time honored traditional program it cannot rob us of the opportunity to pay tribute to these many heroic individuals - past, present, and future.
A hero is said to be someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than one's self. Not only do all of you fit that definition but you also shine brightly as an example to all of us to always seek to contribute to the greater good. May we all emulate your love of country in our everyday lives as our ongoing expression of gratitude to you. God bless.
