November 11, 2020 is a Veterans Day unlike any we have experienced yet.
It is more important than ever to honor the men and women who have and do serve our Nation.
We just had a tremendous turnout for our election, and the right to exercise that vote has been defended by those who serve since the inception of the American Experiment.
Think of so many countries around the world where you risk your life to vote or speak out against those in power.
Our Veterans – current and past – ensure that will never happen in our great United States.
Even though we cannot have the traditional Veterans Day ceremonies, let us all pause on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month to give thanks to those brave men and women who protect our freedoms.
