Today's Weather: Veteran

By Marcus Gilmer in Miscellaneous on Nov 11, 2009 2:00PM

It's a gorgeous day, particularly for those of you who aren't in the office. Clear, blue skies stretch out overhead and the Sun is doing its thing, warming us up to a point of comfort with highs in the upper 50s. We know the cool, damp weather that marks typical Autumns will return soon enough so embrace this pleasant weather while you can. Lows tonight will drop into the lower 30s and skies will remain clear.

Of course, today is also a day to give thanks to those who served and defended our country as part of our Armed Forces. Everyone on staff has at least one relative (hi, Dad!) who has served and the staff itself even counts a Veteran among our numbers: our Food & Drink Editor Chuck Sudo. So to you, all of the men and women who have made sacrifices on our behalf and have given your time and lives in service to our country, let us say two simple words you don't hear enough: Thank you.
