On 11/11/11 at 11:11, lots of people made wishes. If you did, I only hope that it was done so in light of the fact that today is Veteran's Day; a day to honor and thank all those who have served our country, those who are still among us, and those who are not.
I was fortunate enough to make it to the Moment of Silence and the Playing of TAPS at school today, and I was appalled at the severe lack of people from my generation there - the attendance was made up of faculty and staff primarily.
We take for granted what it is that we have here - and agree or not, please use this as your reminder to take a moment and silently thank those who have fought for our freedom.
