Belated Veteran's Day Thanks

Something I wrote last week and said on Sunday...meant to post it (but just now getting to it):

I've heard it said: "Victory belongs to those who show up."
When Hitler threatened to kill the spread of liberty, they showed up
When the bullies of the world preyed upon the weak, they showed up
When terror threatened the powerless, they showed up
In the foxholes of Germany, on the beaches of Normandy, the swamps of Vietnam, and the shores of Tripoli…they showed up.

Although words seem inadequate and our 'thank yous' sound hollow…I for one, want to thank you ,Veteran of the U.S.A., for showing up.
