Description
On this Veterans Day, we reflect on the true meaning of service and the broken promises made to our veterans.
Today marks 54 years of marriage for Louise and I, a day that reminds me of the generation who served in World War II.
Our fathers volunteered to fight for this country straight out of high school, returning home to a nation that honored their sacrifice. Leaders like Truman, Eisenhower, and Kennedy understood the importance of maintaining our national commitments, ensuring that the promises made to those who served were actually kept.
Unfortunately, we have largely forgotten this critical history, and the media rarely discusses the reality of these broken promises. Reflecting on the legacy of American veterans is essential for understanding our past and holding our current leadership accountable to the standards set by those who came before us.
