Veteran's Day

My Grandfather, WWII Veteran Georgia B. Morrison
Tomorrow is Veteran's Day, so take at least a short moment out of your 'busy' day (off) to think about the 1% of the population, and their families, who did and still do the things that others won't.  They may not agree with the leaders that send them to God awful places, but they still do it so we can enjoy our freedoms and lifestyles.  (Oh, on a personal note to the Occupy Whatever movement - quit whining, get over yourselves, and get back to work.)

This is a link to a story of a young woman and her family she left behind after being killed in Afghanistan.  I started residency with her husband and I think of them often.
