America was
founded on the principles of liberty, opportunity, and just
for all, and on Veteran's Day we recognize the men and women
of our Armed Forces who have valiantly defended these values
throughout our Nation's history. These remarkable
individuals have helped to make our nation secure and to
advance the cause of freedom worldwide. By answering the
call of duty and risking their lives for their fellow
countrymen, these Patriots have inspired our Nation with
their courage, compassion, and dedication.
~ Veteran's Day Proclamation

express your gratitude to all of our wonderful service men
and women who answer the call to defend America's freedom.

 "Duty,
honor, country: Those three hallowed words reverently
dictate what you ought to be, what you can be, what you will
be. They are your rallying point to build courage when
courage seems to fail, to regain faith when there seems to
be little cause for faith, to create hope when hope becomes
forlorn."
General
Douglas MacArthur
