Happy Veterans Day!

Thanking our heroes on Veterans Day.

Poet Maya Angelou once said “[h]ow important it is for us to recognize and celebrate our heroes and she-roes!”

Well, no other hero or she-roe deserves more recognition than those American citizens that have proudly served in the armed forces of the United States of America in peace time and during war from the birth of this great nation in 1775 to the present.

Millions of Americans wear the uniform domestically and abroad and the contributions our service men and women to the cause of peace and freedom around the world is both measurable and immeasurable.

Regardless of whether their service was during a time of peace, unrest or war, every single man and woman that has worn the uniform deserves our respect and admiration.
