On Veterans Day

The story of the Declaration of Independence is one of

the most cherished and significant chapters in the history of America.

The document is a remarkable statement of revolutionary ideas

and ideals that had never been featured on so prominent a stage.

We learned as schoolchildren the courage and character required of the signers of that document:

they mutually pledged their sacred honor and their lives to its ideals.

Those few dozen men rightly occupy a place in our pantheon of heroes.

Somewhere in this great land today, young men and women are signing up to serve in the armed forces.

These men and women are only the latest among millions of Americans through the centuries

who have pledged their sacred honor and their lives to the defense of their country.

This pledge, an echo and a reminder of the signing of the Declaration of Independence,

was made before them by the veterans of the Gulf Wars, Afghanistan, Vietnam, Korea, World War II,

and every other era of war and peace since the founding of the country.

Those veterans, whether career military or citizen-soldiers who served and then returned to civilian life,

faced the ultimate sacrifice.

On Veterans Day we remember and honor all who have served.

Each one of them made the pledge; some were called to honor it with their lives,

others paid with pain and injuries, many came safely through.

All were changed by the experience.

America recognizes its veterans on this day.

A quiet moment of reflection is appropriate—

but each of us should break that silence by speaking our thanks to the veterans we know,

for their service and sacrifice.

Dear Louisvillians,

It's Veteran's Day on Thursday, as you know. I don't think that I could top Mark Leibman's wonderful words above; he really did an outstanding job of conveying a strong message about our veterans and the job that they do for us to ensure our freedoms. What a wonderful country that we live in! I encourage you to thank a service person today for the job that they do, the sacrifices they make and the rights that they defend for all of us. Feel grateful to all of the veterans who have served our country and given their time, talents and sometimes their own lives in order to ensure our safety. Additionally, there will be a program on Thursday at the high school (see the information above) for all community members to attend. Consider going and listening to the students and the guest speaker.

Happy Veteran's Day to all of the veterans in our community. Thank you for a job well done.

Have a wonderful week, Louisvillians!

Have a wonderful week, Louisvillians!
