Message-ID: To All MY Brothers and Sisters of the Armed Forces, Monday is Veterans Day, the day we all come together to honor our Veterans and Active Duty Armed Forces for the service they provided so unselfishly. They have given to the United States of America all that was requested of them and then some. Many paid the ultimate price for our nation, and I pray the Nation will never forget this. In these trying times I fear we will once again be called upon to fight for our freedom, but I know we will meet the challenge as we always have given of ourselves so that our Nation will remain the land of the free and the home of the brave. Thank you again my fellow Veterans for your service, your commitment and your undying love of our country and it?s principles. Dwight D.
