Veterans Day. It's almost overwhelming when you stop to think about it. All around are men and women who have been in the service of this country to protect you and I ... the citizens who often take it for granted that we are able to jump in our vehicles and drive anywhere without fear of terrorism in the streets, in our Capitol, in our malls.
We have that freedom and peace at home because of our veterans. They are all around us from the World War II generation to Korea to Vietnam to Operation Desert Storm to the present-day Operation Iraqi Freedom war in Iraq.
My American flag is flying in their honor and memory ... my hat's off to these American heroes. We thank them.

The entire front page of the Waynesboro News Virginian is dedicated to Veterans Day. It's a wonderful tribute and it is great to see a newspaper take the lead on honoring our military veterans. Well done, Bob Stuart and the News Virginian.
