One of the things I most enjoy about living in Washington, DC is that I’m surrounded by museums, memorials and monuments. Many of these are dedicated to the men and women that have served in the armed services and on Veteran’s Day many of these locations host services and events recognizing and remembering these brave individuals.
If I was home today I’d be joining in but instead I’m sending my message of gratitude from afar and asking that you too take a moment to honor those that have chosen to serve and protect the rest of us.
