Veteran's Day
Look folks, whether you agree with the war or not, today is Veteran's Day. The awesome guy to the left there is my cousin Carlos, who is currently on his second tour over in Iraq.

So, whether you support the war or not, or whether you've supported past wars - that does not matter. Go thank a vet today. Thank them every day, actually.

And you know what else? If you really care, start standing up and speaking out for policies that help them get better benefits. It's amazing that after all these men and women do for us, they are frequently left on their own with little or nothing to support them later in life as far as the Veterans Administration goes.

Many come home from war seriously wounded and their families are unable to afford to see them in the hospital or support themselves without the main breadwinner. Donate to organizations like the Armed Forces Foundation, which helps families of injured service members see their loved ones even if they can't afford to stay in hotels near the hospitals. Other organizations are now popping up to help the kids of lost servicemen and women afford college.

So, thanks Vets. Thanks to my dad, my brother, both my grandfathers, my uncles, my cousin Carlos, my cousin Kevin and my many friends who are in the armed forces. And thanks to the rest that I don't know personally.

You all deserve more than just one day each year.
