Salute!

Salute: to express commendation of; as in "I salute your dedication to duty."

Today is Veteran's Day 2010 so I want to send out a big salute and Thank You to the men and women of the armed forces today.  I keep you and your families in my morning prayers. 

If you want to know more about Veteran's Day read the History of Veterans' Day on the Department of Veterans' Affairs web page.

The National Geographic has a good article on Veterans Day 2010.

There is a slide show about Congressional Medal of Honor recipients on the Huffington Post toay.   More than facts and dates about Veterans Day beginnings and observances, these pictures and accompanying stories explain why we set aside a special day in November to remember, to honor, and to salute.
