Veterans Day 2018
First and foremost, Monday is the annual observance of Veteran's Day, a day set aside to honor the nation's veterans. The image in this article was taken at the American Cemetery in Normandy, France, on one of our cruises several years ago. The image of row after row of crosses will never leave me.
Every day we go about our business, and I suspect most of us take our freedom for granted. It isn't because we aren't caring people, but instead perhaps because we just don't think about it. So I ask you today to take a moment to reflect on the veterans, living and deceased, for without whose service we wouldn't be the free nation we are today.

We could never thank our military men and women enough for their courageous service and sacrifice to our country and its people. Yet today we lift up our voices to express gratefulness and honor to these military troops both from the past and present.
THANK YOU FROM
A GRATEFUL NATION
