A message for Veterans Day NOV. 11, 2008 -- Dom posted a bulletin from both of his MySpace Music pages on Nov. 11 to mark Veterans Day. After being asked to make the short essay available in a more permanent form, Dom decided to reprint it here on the official website. The piece was entitled, "The Irony of Veterans Day": November 11, 1918, was the cease-fire conclusion to "The War to End All Wars." Many years -- and many wars -- later, we honor our combat veterans on the anniversary of the day that was supposed to make all of them unemployed. The world is not a hostile place. The world is a good place, but with certain hostile people in positions of power who express their poorer selves in extreme manners. Please be thankful that we have many people -- real people -- willing to make the real sacrifices necessary to protect our freedom-infused way of life against threats to us and our like-minded allies. November 11 is not a day set aside to remember our veterans, because no such set-aside is necessary. EVERY DAY should be a day to remember our veterans and those still serving in our military. November 11 is actually a day to remember that much of western civilization once thought veterans would become extinct. I am simultaneously sad and thankful that much of western civilization was wrong. Happy Veterans Day to all who served honorably and all who continue to serve. Hope you enjoyed it! And please keep our veterans and active-duty military personnel in your prayers and thoughts. |
