During the recent operations in Fallujah, many American minds have been on the soldiers currently fighting overseas.

And they should be.

However, last Thursday reminded us our military veterans should never be forgotten, even when they are not currently engaged in combat.

Those who choose to make the ultimate sacrifice in giving their life for their country should not only be thanked, but given recognition at least once every year.
