Two words: Thank You. Thank you to all the veterans.
Oh, and four words: Don’t Be A Hater.
Today in the United States, we celebrate Veterans Day, where we honor the millions of men and women who have served or are serving in our nation’s armed forces.
This is not a day for naysayers and haters to rant about their political views, share their anti-war sentiments, or put down those honorable men and women who are doing their best. Save it. At least save it for another day.
And, really, should this be a day in America where we shop for mattress sales and attack all of the other Veterans Day sales in our department stores nationwide? Ugh.
Nah, it’s not about that.
11-11-11 only comes once every one hundred years. Many of us won’t be around to celebrate the next one.
So, save the hating and the naysaying.
How about making today a peaceful day?
