I'd like to thank ALL veterans for their service to our country today, Veterans Day, and every day.
Thank you to Ernest Boisvert, VP of United Veterans Council, and to the four veterans who held flags at the short ceremony at WWII Veterans Memorial Park, and to the FIVE people in attendance.
Five people in attendance, on Veterans Day! And as I stood there listening to Mr. Boisvert speak, I couldn't help but notice some men, sitting on a wall in the distance, completely uninterested in the small gathering around the monument. Two other men, casually walking past the ceremony with not even the slightest curiosity as the Pledge of Allegiance was recited. Shameful and embarrasing!
So, I hope you enjoy today's football games and tomorrow's sales. But, please, remember our veterans. Thank them for their service.
