Veteran's Day is a day to honor all the men and women who have worked and served in the armed services. This review is about Veterans and Veterans of War-USA and is written with attention to detail by writer Tipi. She tells us that Canada and Australia also celebrate Veterans Day, but most countries do not have special days to honor their military members. In the United States we honor Veterans on November 11.
Unfortunately some members of the armed forces are remembered and honored better depending on the war they fought in, but these men and women are no less deserving of our thanks and appreciation.
Interspersed among the stories are videos like the one about "Forgotten Airman Joseph Gomer" who was one of the Tuskegee Airman, a group of black fighter pilots who did not receive a heroes welcome when returning from World War II. Also worth watching is the patriotic and faith-filled, "A Soldier's Prayer" that begins with these words, "Will there be a place in Heaven for a person such as me?" Watching it is a reminder of the hardships and camaraderie war brings.
Further down the page is the part of Tipi's article that I like the most. It's where she presents a list of people who are writers for Squidoo, many who we may know, who are also Veterans. She includes photos and links to the blogs and pages that they choose to write about.
If you know a veteran, or run into one on this day, or any other day, be sure to say a kind "thank you" to acknowledge their fine service which keeps us living free in the greatest country on earth. And if you feel so inclined, thank the men and women Tipi has listed on her page.
