A Salute to Veterans

We have shared the incommunicable experience of war. We have felt - we still
feel - the passion of life to its top. In our youths our lives were touched by
fire. Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr.

It is because of the noble and gallant conduct of veterans like Justice Holmes and other veterans like my grandfather that the United States if America remains a beacon of liberty.

I who am not able to take up arms because of my disability give thanks for women and men who can do take up arms to defend the country. I only wish that I could join you in the fight.
