Rediscovering America begins with the Bang of the meaning of Veterans Day: Service and Sacrifice.

Veterans Day is a glorious celebration of our nation’s history replete with the sacred memories of the sacrifices of the heroes who made us the exceptional country we are today. After 232 years, a mere eye blink in the collection of all recorded history, we continue to strive to be better and to fulfill the still incomplete vision of our Founders. Today, I am struck with the awareness that a single day is not sufficient to recognize our indebtedness to those who gave “the last full measure of their devotion” to America and to the cause of freedom for suffering humanity everywhere. Henceforth, I urge that the entire month of November should be consecrated to the lives of the great men and women who went before us, those dead and those among us, whose sublime lives “leave footprints in the sands of time.” Each of us will have his or her personal heroes from whom inspiration flows with an everlasting abundance. I wish to take this holy occasion to enumerate just a handful of mine.
