Yesterday was the birthday of the USMC, and there is a great piece up at culture11 by Joe Carter in honor of that day. I recommend reading it.
Not only that, but today is also Veterans’ Day (not sure if it’s supposed to get the ‘ or not, but I’m too lazy to look it up). My grandfather served in the Army in WWII. He wrote his memoirs and several years ago, and presented bound copies of them to the entire family at Christmas. It is an inspiring book of memories to be sure. I wish I could see my grandaddy today, but I’ll have to settle for giving him a call.
Hug, call, or thank a veteran today. They are treasures to be acknowledged.
