Just thinking about November 11th and what it means to me. The Veteran’s Day honors those who protect our freedom. Our freedom continues to come at a great expense…loss of our men and women in our Armed Forces. Our freedom as well as other countries that want a democracy continues to be threatened by those more interested in power and greed which permeates the world. If it were not for those in power wanting more, what would our society be like if we followed the Golden Rule, “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” Or, the Platinum Rule, “Do unto others as they would want done unto them.” To reach beyond our greed and power and reach out to others in need. What insight and value as well as respect we would have for others. And, in turn, our life would be much easier if others did treat us the way we want to be treated. On November 11th, honor our Armed Forces who give their lives to protect our freedom.
