Veteran's Day

Whether you agree with our foreign escapades or not, it is still the day to salute our veterans. These brave men and women have put their lives on the line many times over. Some have served as many as 5 tours in Iraq and let's not forget Afghanistan, either. The death toll continues to only grow higher, and these Americans and their families deserve our support. Send a care package to a man or woman overseas today, or a letter which will be most highly valued. OOORAH!

This story shall the good man teach his son;
And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remembered-
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;
And gentlemen in England now-a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.


Shakespeare
