It seemed like a few months ago that I wrote about Veterans Day, even though a year has passed by that fast. I attended the parade again this year and it was even bigger and longer. The little school kids chanted USA, USA, USA, everytime they saw men and women in uniforms pass them by. The combat veterans, POWs, and the former soldiers in wheelchairs got loud claps and cheers. Yes, soldiers who took the long trek rode in their wheel chairs because they were proud of what they gave up for this country. There are many others who are still sacrificing and giving up so much for what they believe in. We as American citizens owe these men and women much more than just parades. We should get on the horn and tell our representatives in politics to get out of these unnecessary wars. So many of these wars are making a lot of money for the fat cats at the expense of these proud, fighting soldiers. Let us never forget that so many gave some, but some gave all. Many of these soldiers might be home but they left their souls in another land. And some, never came back home. Keep these courageous men and women in your prayers. Never forget!
