I think Amos made a powerful point in spite of hiumself. I don't know if his meaning was tongue-in-cheek or not, but there are way too many folks that do not take our national days of remebrance and thanks seriously. Monday morning will again find me on the grounds of our local veterans hospital, Bay Pines, with elements of the Junior ROTC Honor Guard firing a cannon salute at the opening of the annual Veteran's Day ceremonies. I will follow that with a visit to the other side of the hospital where the cemetery is and visit with some familiar names. God Bless our freedoms and those who fight to maintain them!
