Veteran's Day thanks

Dear American veterans,

Thank you for the blood, sweat, and tears shed by you on our behalf. Thank you for dedicating years of your life to the security of this nation.

"Good people sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf."
- Rudyard Kipling
Thank you for persevering despite naysayers and protesters and people who have no clue how precious is this gift of freedom provided by your valor.

Dear American citizens,
Please take a few minutes today to say thank you to a veteran. And if you can, please make some sort of donation to a charity like Project Valor-IT which is being run by Soldier's Angels. (h/t: The Real Ugly American)
Project Valour-IT, in memory of SFC William V. Ziegenfuss, provides voice-controlled software and laptop computers to wounded Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines recovering from hand and arm injuries or amputations at major military medical centers. Operating laptops by speaking into a microphone, our wounded heroes are able to send and receive messages from friends and loved ones, surf the 'Net, and communicate with buddies still in the field without having to press a key or move a mouse.
