This Friday is Veterans Day. Do you best to find a vet and thank him or her for serving our country. The world is a whole lot better off because of them. This week's issue of Our Heritage Preservation salutes our veterans and urges family members to gather the memories of their family members who served. Too many veterans, especially World War II veterans, returned home, found peace within their families, and became silent about what they experienced. It was nearly 60 years after the war ended before America dedicated the national World War II Memorial in honor of them. News broadcaster Tom Brokaw dubbed them the Greatest Generation, celebrating their stories, and lifted the participants a shroud of silence.
Vietnam era veterans also returned home in silence as the country looked for a rationale for that war.
Wars may be popular or unpopular, but the warriors always deserve our respect and thanks.
