On November 11 we honor our veterans for their service in defense of the United States of America. Only one day a year is set aside to officially honor their contributions and sacrifices, but we should all be grateful... and all the time.

From the town common in Lexington, Massachusetts to the rugged mountains of Afghanistan, from humanitarian and peacekeeping missions to combat operations, our men and women in uniform have selflessly answered the call of duty to protect our country and its citizens. Those who have worn the uniform, and their families, understand that the cost of freedom is high and the journey is unpredictable- and we should appreciate that every day.

Enjoy this weekend but remember what Veterans Day is about. And go out of your way to demonstrate your appreciation for our veterans.

May God Bless each and every one of you is our fervent prayer,

Danny, Allen, Mark, and Tommy
