Veteran's Day.

I suppose the usual sentiment is 'Happy Veteran's Day,' but as a veteran, it's hard to gin up a lot of happiness when the news is filled with stuff like this. Or this. Or any of the endless stream of stories about homeless veterans, disabled veterans, unemployed veterans, divorced veterans, suicidal veterans, yadda, yadda, yadda.

Nope, there's not much for veteran's to be happy about these days. A lot to be proud of for a bunch of us, sure, but not many grounds for happiness. Grateful, sure. Those of us who got back are obligated to those who didn't to be grateful.

So, I won't wish you happy Veteran's Day. How 'bout an grateful one instead?

Yeah.

Have a grateful Veteran's Day.
