Ok so it's Veterans Day and I believe it is appropriate to take a break, if even for a moment, to recognize the men and women who fight for our freedom. Whatever you are doing today: working, shopping, laying around, eating, exercising, etc., keep in mind that it is because of what our country has fought for that we can experience the luxury of doing these every day things. All of us to some degree have really gotten comfortable in our daily lives, and it is easy to take for granted all of the simple pleasures, vices, and liberties that we enjoy. It is for these reasons also that people from other countries like my mom and perhaps you, yourself, your parents, grandparents, etc, have come here for a better life. But it is the people that are dressed in camouflage no matter the branch that really protect us and fight for our lives. Please also take a moment to remember loved ones and all of the fallen soldiers because they died so that we may live a better life. And if you know someone who has served and you will see them today, hug them and thank them for serving for us. I'm going to make this short today because, honestly, I am having a hard time holding myself together. Thanks to all of the Veterans and all of you currently serving. We do appreciate you and we owe you our lives. God bless you and God bless America.
-In memory of Captain Mark R. Nickles
