Today is Veteran's Day, formerly called Armistice Day, which celebrated the truce with Germany in World War I. It is incumbent upon us to remember that "peaceful men are able to sleep at night because warriors are ready to do violence for them." I can't remember who said that, but it is apt. The first, best function of government is to protect the nation. Everything else is secondary. Thank a veteran, go to a cemetery, say a prayer for those who took up the sword on our behalf and have fallen.
May their memories be eternal.
