Veterans Day

Description


You stood up; you showed up; you stepped forward; you raised your right hand; you stood in the gap; you walked in the fire. You did not run; you did not hide; you did not dodge; you did not evade. Consequently, you have nothing to prove, no one to convince. Those who matter already know. Those who don't, never will.
