VOL. 31 NO. 35
CG suggests we
keep the faith
Monday Oct. 23 has been set aside as Veterans Day
a day to Honor a very special group of Americans those
who have served with such distinction and pride in our
Armed Forces.
These veterans believed in the right of men to liberty
and pursuit of happiness as well as life. The privileges
and freedom we enjoy those we take for granted as
our American birthright were won by these men and
women at great sacrifice.
Throughout our country's history from Valley Forge
to Vietnam American servicemen have responded to their
nation's call to duty. It is proper that we pause to remember
their great contribution. It was their bravery and convic
tion their willingness to endure hardship and danger to
risk even death that have secured the blessing of liberty
for us and for our children.
Not only are our thoughts with those who have made
the supreme sacrifice throughout the span of our country's
history but with those veterans who have returned from
Vietnam with those who are still apart of it with those
who are Missing in Action and with those who are Prisoners
of War.
On this day it is fitting and proper that all of our Ft.
Hood community military civilian wives and children
recall with pride and gratitude the debt we owe our
American veterans and remember with respect and rever
ence those who died for our country. They deserve our
gratitude respect and thanks for the privileges and free
dom we enjoy today.
It is now our turn to keep faith with these American
veterans to maintain the will courage and strength to
keep our country free.
