I was a little surprised yesterday evening when I was reading the news online and saw that it was Veteran's Day. I got caught up in everything that was going on in my life, and completely was unaware of everything that was going on. I thought I would take a little time out of my day today, since I forgot yesterday, and pay tribute to those who have served this country to give us the freedoms that are taken advantage of each and every day. Here is a short video:
I think it is kind of sad that most Americans, including myself, are too caught up in football and everything else to forget about a day as important as this. In the middle of a war especially, we are reminded every day of the sacrifices the soldiers are making to protect you and me. Whether you are for the war or not, recognize what they have done, and pray for them. I'm sure they could use it.

Veteran's Day is one of the best days of the year in my opinion. I think my respect and admiration for veterans might stem from being a history nerd and learning about wars and international conflicts. I watched "Saving Private Ryan" last night (which is always shown on Vet's Day) and it still got to me. Veterans should always be remembered as heroes and preservers of our liberty.
And by last night, I mean Sunday night.
