Happy Veteran's Day!

UPDATE: Shortly after posting this item a reader sent me this:

A veteran is someone who, at one point in his life wrote a blank check
made payable to 'The United States of America ' for an amount of 'up to
and including my life.' That is Honor, and there are way too many people
in this country who no longer understand it.'
