To all who serve, have served, or are committed to service...

[Matt.Cross]

Today is Veteran's Day and this is my way of honoring the brave men and women of our great country who have served, are serving, or have made a commitment to serve our country by joining the military:

I heard a WWII veteran on the radio today giving a short story about his experience at Pearl Harbor. As far as I'm concerned, it was two of the most profound minutes I've experienced in a lifetime.

I felt pretty emotional when the story was done and I thought about the many years of sacrifice that have created and bolstered the freedom of our nation. I nearly started to cry at the thought of how we as a society have answered our veteran's sacrifice. At the same time, I felt and still feel an immeasurable pride in the courage and fighting spirit in the heart of the American warrior. There is none more honorable, bold, fearsome, courageous, courteous, and ferocious than the American serviceman.

I am and always will be at YOUR service. Today, and always my thoughts and prayers are with you. May God bless you and yours, and may God bless America!

I can't hear anything. It just looks like a regular webpage.

My friend's dad was at Pearl Harbor and he called me on Veteran's day and the conversation went in to him telling me all about it.

Those guys had it rough.
