Veteran's Day Thank You

Today I just want to take a moment away from all the business of the day to say thanks to all our men and women who have served bravely in our armed forces. For more than two centuries Americans have willingly done the hard work of protecting us against all enemies both abroad and at home. Today they protect us from an unseen enemy who hides in the shadows and strikes at innocent civilians.

My cincere gratitude to all of those who keep my family safe each day. Fortunately we can go on about our business traveling to and from our jobs, eating at restaurants, visiting malls, and leading a life without fear because our troops are keeping terrorists on the run and in decades past our troops fought to keep this country and our allies free and secure. We owe a tremendous debt for this daily comfort, and I am eternally grateful.
