1. Today is Veterans Day, a day we honor and remember all of the brave women and men who have served our country and sacrificed their lives throughout our country’s history. It is sometimes easy to forget or take for granted what our fellow Americans do to keep us safe and protect our freedom. If you see or know a veteran or active service member today please give them a hearty thank you.
