To the editor:
At 11 a.m. on Nov. 11, 1918, an armistice to end fighting in World War I took effect.
Many Allied nations declared this date a national holiday, and for 35 years it was known in the U.S. as Armistice Day. In 1954, the name was changed to Veterans Day to honor all men and women who served in the military.
Throughout history, countless men and women have fought so others could live in freedom. And the fight for freedom continues as our men and women in the military are on the battlefield in various parts of the world.
I extend heartfelt thanks to all of our men and women who have served and are still serving our country.
Nobody understands better the freedom the U.S. flag represents than the those men and women who served in our military in defense of our freedom.
I salute you veterans who served our nation. The United States would not be the great nation it is without the men and women who have willingly put their lives in harm's way so we could be free. They deserve our respect and to be cared for properly. For many suffer from physical injuries and mental anguish that we can't begin to fathom. Therefore, let us honor them with our words of thanks and demonstrate honor with our actions by making sure our Veterans Hospitals/Clinics are doing all that's necessary to ensure good healthcare and treatment. They served to save others from danger and harm. Let's help to save them as best we can from the effects of war by treating their wounds.
