November 11 should not be a time for midnight sales of automobiles or trivial items that bring us momentary pleasure of an extra day off work. November 11 should be one of the most important dates on your calendar to stop your hurried lives and stop to hear the silence on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month.  And say thanks.

What ever your beliefs are regarding world conflicts you owe it to yourself to listen to a Veteran, relive his or her story and reflect on our ability to feel the way we do about war. See the men and women who have served our countries for what they are, people who wanted to make a change in an ever changing world. It just may change you as well.
