Yesterday was Veteran's Day - but, did we truly observe this day and honor these individuals.
My town did nothing to celebrate the day that we have designated for those men and women who ensure that we have the freedom and liberties of living in a democratic society.
Instead what I saw yesterday were lines of people at stores taking advantage of the numerous store sales. When did this country decide to take every opportunity to have a sale? It has been Labor Day, Election Day and now Veteran's Day sales - each of these days has a deeper meaning to it.
Can we turn back the clock on certain things - and this would be one of them - celebrate the day for what it is and not another capitalistic opportunity.
