Veterans Day 2007
Winston Churchill might seem like an unlikely source for a quote offered in tribute to The United States Military. But he had an American mother, and say what you will, the man could speak the English language. In August of 1940, speaking in the House of Commons in tribute to the Royal Air Force, he said:
"Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few."
On this day of remembrance, these words take on new meaning as we recall and honor the sacrifice of our military personnel some of whom who continue to protect our beloved country and our way of life.
