Today is Veteran's Day in the United States. While our military has taken a lot of heat over the war in Iraq, it is important to remember that the individuals serving in the military are trying to protect us. They didn't decide who or where this mission should take them. They trusted us to elect leaders that would make wise decisions about where to place their efforts. They deserve our admiration, not disdain. I enjoyed this story about 9 casualties from Praha, TX, a small town never larger than 100, who died in WWII. The story is an excellent one to read, and remember, on Veteran's Day.
