Veterans Day

I hope we all pause today to remember the brave men and women who have defended our freedom, fought for our country and even paid the ultimate sacrafice in our honor.

We should especially remember the brave men and women who are overseas at this very moment in Iraq and Afghanistan fighting the Global War on Terror.

I especially want to say thanks to my grandfather in Missouri who fought and received the Purple Heart in World War II. It is the bravery and honor of people like him that have helped to mold this country into what it is today.
