Yesterday was Veterans Day, and I just want to say thank you to my fellow Americans who took the time to celebrate it. You see, Veterans Day is where we have an opportunity to thank the few who have answered their Nation's call to defend us from enemies at home and abroad. These are the men and women who will walk through the gates of hell to stand up against evil and danger so we do not have to. Veterans don't ask for much, so it is not a hard holiday to celebrate. A simple ``thank you'' will do just fine. But I want to ask the American people to never forget the sacrifices that these fine men and women and their families make for us. And as a Nation, we must keep our promises we made to these defenders of freedom. Veterans love our American flag. It represents the greatest Nation in the history of mankind. Fly it proudly. Simply put, be proud to be an American. For a veteran, that is thanks enough. ____________________
