Veteran's Day Posting

I give my thanks to those brave veterans, whose sacrifices gave freedom to so many people around the world. Because of them, democracies flourish in Europe, the Near East, and the Far East, rather than tyranny. We ourselves continue to have freedoms and rights, and can live without fear, because our soldiers bravely faced enemies in the past, and are continuing to take the fight to the enemy in the present.

There are many newly made veterans coming home, and many soldiers deployed in combat right now. I thank them for protecting innocents from murderers, and for their respectfulness and humility towards all people.

I am grateful to all of our veterans, for your heroic service. May we all continue in your honorable course.
