While only one day of the year is dedicated solely to honoring our veterans, Americans must never forget the sacrifices that many of our fellow countrymen have made to defend our country and protect our freedoms.

Honoring the sacrifices many have made for our country in the name of freedom and democracy is the very foundation of Veterans Day.

Veterans are a symbol of what makes our nation great, and we must never forget all they have done to ensure our freedom.

We must never forget that many around the globe are denied the basic rights we enjoy as Americans. If we are to continue enjoying these privileges and freedoms we must accept our mission of expanding democracy around the globe.

I'll never forget the day that I was told I would have to have a mastectomy. My reaction to the words was total denial.

Never forget that only dead fish swim with the stream.
