Today is Veterans Day, the day we honor those who have served in the military and lived. Memorial Day is the day we honor those who died while serving in the military. While that seems like a big difference, the reality is that chance plays a huge role in which soldiers live and which soldiers die. So to all you veterans out there, thanks for the willingness to put your life on the line for all the things I hold dear.

My father was a submariner during WWII. Two cousins were in Vietnam; one didn’t return, the other returned minus most of his hearing. An uncle was a doctor in a MASH unit in Korea (he hated the TV show M*A*S*H). A great uncle was in WWI. I want to take this chance to thank them, and all the other Americans who have fought for our country so that (among many other things) I can sit here and write my inane scribblings secure in the knowledge that I won’t prosecuted or persecuted for their content, even with I discuss religion and politics.
