Happy Veterans Day

For many people, Veterans Day can be one of those holidays that go by without much notice. I look back on my childhood and realize how little I thought about what the holiday meant. Now, it is different. Being a member of the Armed Forces during wartime, the holiday has a greater significance. Each member of the armed forces has their own tale to tell. As an example this week, one of my fellow interns received the Distinguished Flying Cross with Valor for his exploits during the Fallujah campaign last year. I’m not in a combat specialty, but my job is to help those who fight be more effective and stay safe.
