Veteran's Day/thank you

I never had the opportunity to be in the Armed Forces. They wouldn't take me. Many of my friends served in Viet Nam and they have my sincere gratitude. Admiration for those who were in all of our conflicts and wore the uniform should be in all of us. It's probably the reason for my appreciation of American History. Veterans sacrifices were many and we honor them. Sadly, on this Veteran's Day, it has to be noted that the Washington Post and New York Times made no mention of their national holiday.
