Every Nov. 11th, a million and a half veterans in America pause to remember.
We remember the victories we experienced while we served, and the losses too, especially those we spend most of the time trying to forget.
We remember the friends we made, and some of us, sadly, remember the friends we lost.
But most of all, we remember why it is that we chose to serve our country.
I chose to serve because I believe in what America stands for at home and around the world. Because I believe in the American dream, being able to live a dignified life working in a job where my contribution is valuable and valued, where I can support my family and contribute to my community.
