Honor Our War Veterans

It seems as though everything our Presidents do nowadays is scrutinized. President Barack Obama was recently shown saluting the remains of our most recent casualties of war as they were transferred from a plane in Delaware, headed for their final resting places around the country. This President’s more public display of honoring our fallen heroes is in contrast to his predecessor’s more private show of respect. Each man has been criticized because of it. What is lost in the debate, as Veteran’s Day approaches, is that there are still young people dying in conflicts being fought all over the globe, 90 years after the conclusion of the “War To End All Wars”. Thankfully, towns such as Weymouth do not allow us to forget those boys and girls. Numerous sign posts and memorials throughout the town bearing the names of thousands of veterans, each with a unique story, remind us that there are those among us, even today, who gave a portion or all of their lives for the betterment of the United States.
