Happy Veterans Day
Veterans Day is held in high regard here in the Chicagoist offices. As a veteran myself, I begin to look at how the six years I served in the Navy helped shape me into the man I am today, although I didn't think of it like that at the time I served.
Normally a photograph like the one above is accompanied by the phrase "America: Love It or Leave It." Not today. Veterans, as the front line of defense of the Constitution, should be commanding respect today. If you know a veteran, whether a family member, friend, work mate or the scores on the streets scraping to survive, take the time to thank them for their service.
