Fridays Are For One Question

Today is Veteran's Day.


Woodrow Wilson first proclaimed an Armistice Day for November 11, 1919. In proclaiming the holiday, he said:


"To us in America, the reflections of Armistice Day will be filled with solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the country's service and with gratitude for the victory, both because of the thing from which it has freed us and because of the opportunity it has given America to show her sympathy with peace and justice in the councils of the nations."


But for most of us, Veteran's Day is a personal holiday, when you tend to think of one or two people who have served in the military. Maybe a husband or wife, grandfather, or close friend.


For today's question:


"Who are you thinking of on Veteran's Day today?"
