Veterans Day is always on November 11th because the fighting in World War I ended with an armistice on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918.
The more important point is to take the time to remember and honor all Veterans, past and present that fought for us. Regardless of our personal feelings about war, we owe a lot to those that served, even more than the 10% discount they receive at the local builder’s supply. So let’s not twist the memory of our Veteran’s service by preventing those that choose to do so from exercising their right to legally protest injustice in our country. Those are the same rights our Veterans sought to preserve.
No one gave their life for a flag. The battle was for what that flag represents. So take a knee, don’t take a knee, but quit railing against those that exercise their constitutional rights because they have a different view. Isn’t that the America for which they fought; the one we all want?
