To the editor:
As is the case every year around this time, we pause to express our gratitude to all who have served our country. Though the enemies to our freedom have changed throughout the years, the resolve of our military to combat them has never wavered.
Similarly, our country's commitment to the welfare of our veterans should be steadfast. In the presidential debates — Republican & Democrat — almost all of the potential candidates have made a point of mentioning that much still has to be done for those who have given their time — and more — so that we can live free. Let's ensure that this is not merely rhetoric, but rather a call to action for an even greater commitment to the well-being of our veterans

The author Bernard Malamud once wrote, "Without heroes we are all plain people and don't know how far we can go."
On Nov. 11, make a point of thanking veterans for their service and for the example they have set for us all.
