…Happy Veterans Day.
We here at View From Above deliver this message in advance to those of you who may not be able to accept in person
after your service to our country. Know that your sacrifices of mind,
body, fortunes and lives will be honored, however inadequately– in
many cases, far too inadequately– by those you have served. Jon
Carroll expresses similar sentiments here.
I, for one, would like to apologize for all the merchants who are
having sales today, but somehow aren’t able to give deeper discounts
for those folks who have actually served.
And for that matter, I would also like to tip my hat to those folks who
put their lives on the line for my sake even without going to war– the
men and women of the police and fire departments.
