VETERAN'S DAY isn't just for the soldiers that have fought recently...it's for anyone who's defended their home...whether it be here or abroad.

Thank you Jack and Andrew, Bob and Lewis...thank you Buffalo...thank you everyone who's ever fought for us. You don't hear it much but you are much appreciated.

The 54 Massachussetts, one of the first all black regiments...the Navajo code talkers...the Native Americans at Wounded Knee and the countless battles against the migrating white men...John Brown, a bit of a radical...his heart was in the right place, he just went about it all wrong...the men and women of the Underground Railroad...the many explorers and settlers from our past..

And don't you dare forget all those that are over there now...some too young to even drink, yet carrying guns. Those that have been hurt and are disfigured for life...a huge price to pay, don't you think?

Thank you, thank you, thank you.
