Veteran Embrace

One of the most moving things I have received in a long time.
Each generation is blessed with real heroes. Here are two.
Veteran Embrace
Pearl Harbor survivor, Houston James of Dallas, embraced Marine Staff Sgt. Mark Graunke Jr. during a Veteran's Day commemoration in Dallas Nov. 11. Graunke lost a leg, a hand, and an eye when he defused a bomb in Iraq last year.
This picture should have been all over the news but few, if any, have seen it.
We truly take a lot for granted. Forget the sports "heroes" and movie "stars". May all truly know the price of freedom.
