Happy Veteran's Day on Wednesday

We just had our Veteran's Day assembly and even though I am in the middle of school, I wanted to take a moment while my students are working to write about it. Veteran's Day, that is.

We are lucky that there are people willing to take on a duty that very few are willing to accept. Most veterans feel a strong sense of duty and responsibility for protecting our way of life. If we didn't have Veterans, we would not have most of the freedoms we enjoy today, including the ones that allow us to speak our minds freely, even if that speech bashes the very people who protect the right to make it.

Please consider recognizing a Veteran tomorrow. They, and their families, make sacrifices a lot of people would never consider in order to serve.
