Nov. 11, 2005 - VETERAN'S DAY
Veterans Day November 11
Remember to Thank a Veteran
Today we honor all of the Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines and Coastguardsmen
who have served our country for the noble cause of preserving the freedoms that
every American enjoys.
Right now, there are thousands of men and women in our military, once again
taking up arms against the enemies of freedom. Like generations of patriots who
came before them, these few shoulder the burden for the many. They serve
because they know it is necessary for the greater good.
So far, more than 2,000 of America's sons and daughters have been killed and
thousands more injured in the war on terrorism. Although we cannot bring back
those who lost their lives in battle, we can thank them for all they have done
and continue to do for our nation.
Please join the 1.8 million members of the Veterans of Foreign Wars in honoring
our military men and women, past and present, on this Veterans Day. Thank them
and let them know that a grateful nation appreciates their contributions in
creating a future world free from fear despite the personal cost to them.
God bless America!
James R. Mueller
Commander-in-Chief
Veterans of Foreign Wars
Something you can do to help ..
Join the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) in
creating the single largest symbol of support for America's troops and
veterans. Wear a patriotic, red wristband to show you care - and remember -
their service and sacrifice.
Proceeds from America Bands Together are targeted to
support emergency assistance for troops, as well as established,
well-recognized VFW programs like Operation Uplink, National
Veterans Service and Military Assistance Program (MAP). These initiatives
provide direct assistance to those who have sacrificed so much and help
active-duty personnel make a smooth transition to civilian life.

for our veterans and for all the men and women still serving our
country.
