A Veterans' Day Salute


Today is the day that World War I ended, and the day that Americans pay tribute to the men and women who serve now and served in the past, protecting our freedom. It may at times seem that our freedoms are fragile, but as an African saying goes, many spider webs together can bring down a lion, and together Americans of all colors, religions and origins form a web strong enough to keep our freedoms intact and secure.


Thanks to Steven Fieg for forwarding several photos of his dad in uniform in 1944 to mark this special day.
