America's Veterans have served their country with the belief that democracy and freedom are ideals to be upheld around the world.

This war is being played in the realm of public opinion and has dire consequences for our soldiers in Iraq, the future of our country, and freedom around the world.

We've got to continue to find ways to honor our 25 million veterans that have served our country with such honor and distinction.

Since the conception of our country, America has held that parents, not schools, teachers, and certainly not courts, hold the primary responsibility of educating their children.

This year's Veterans Day celebration is especially significant as our country remains committed to fighting the War on Terror and as brave men and women are heroically defending our homeland.

Once you don't vote your ideals ... that has serious undermining affects. It erodes the moral basis of our democracy.
