“Those who have long enjoyed such privileges as we enjoy, forget in time that men have died to win them.”
–Franklin Delano Roosevelt

Veterans Day salutes those who have died in the service of their country. Originally called “Armistice Day,” intended to mark the anniversary of the truce that brought World War I to an end in 1918, the day was renamed in 1954 to honor the servicemen of all of America’s wars.

I hope we never take the sacrifices of the soldiers for granted as easily as we do the liberties they won for us.
