Today is Veteran’s Day – a day that we as American citizens set aside time to remember those who have fought and died for our liberties and freedoms. So, it’s not altogether unexpected to find articles on why we should appreciate the men and women of uniform. Having come from a family of two military parents, I understand the importance of such honor.
However, I came across an article today from the Salon website that made me think more accurately about Veteran’s Day, those who fight for our “freedoms,” and where our freedoms actually derive from.
