Veteran’s Day

10 Nov

Tomorrow we will observe Veteran’s Day all across America and in many parts of the world.  It was November 11th 92 years ago that the major fighting of World War I was ended.  The Armistice was signed by world leaders in the 11th hour, on the 11th day, of the 11th month.  Hence the importance of November 11th.

Every and any day, of course, is a great day to honor all those that have served our country, past and present.  But tomorrow we officially celebrate all our veterans here in this great country.  Our high school newspaper, The Roar, did a great job in this month’s issue covering the efforts of Dave Volkman.  Mr. Volkman is a social studies teacher (and my former government teacher) who is currently in Baghdad, Irag serving his 4th tour of duty.  The Roar also did a features on three Loveland High seniors that are going to be serving our country next year after graduation and current staff that have served in the past.

Tomorrow is a great day to remember all who have given so much to make our country the great place that it is.  Do something in your own small way to thank a veteran tomorrow!
