      Its Veterans Day. It is a day to remember those that never got to live past their 20th birthday. Its a day to remember those that came back and despite hardships and memories, created families and futures. My father fought on Iwo Jima, my father-in-law served in the Korean War. Their spouses also served and suffered. Now as they are gone, let’s not forget to comfort those left behind.

      It was my privilege to finally put my father-in-law to rest, as it was a final request to have “Taps” played at his funeral. It never happened until last night at sunset. I do not play well but I play with respect and gratitude. This little kindness helped his widow have some closure.

      On this Veterans Day do more than thank someone for their service, do service for someone. It just feels right.
