I found
these wonderful quotes that honor all veteran, past and present. In addition to the veterans themselves, I
also would like to extend a huge “thank you” to the families of veterans who
sacrificed so much by “holding down the fort” while their loved ones worked to defend
us and maintain our freedom. http://americanprofile.com/articles/20-memorable-veterans-day-quotes/
