Thankful November, Day 11:
Today, we are thankful for our veterans.
Today is Veteran's Day, but originally, this was Armistice Day, a celebration of the movement toward peace after the horrors of World War I. As society, science, and warfare evolve, the threats toward democracy do as well. But so do we, as humans. We evolve and we make choices, and together we can all hope to move toward peace. We give our deep gratitude toward those who choose to serve and defend democracy, from the days of World War I through today. The skies are stormy in our democracy lately, and our thoughts are with you.
