Veterans' Day

From a tribute in today's Daily News, which highlights the 58 New Yorkers (pictured) "who answered their nation's call and who did not come home from the faraway battlefields" since last Veterans' Day:

There are many who choose to believe that these soldiers died for nothing - for lies, for fraud, for some vast swindle. It would be a shameful thing if that were true, but it is not, and it honors neither the dead nor the living to cheapen the sacrifices already made and those still to come.
...
Today is called Veterans Day - in celebration of those who have worn the uniform in other times, and those who wear it today, and those who will wear it for the rest of time as they march on in the big parade. We are proud of them all, every one.
