I have coffee, and am huffing Vick's Vapo-rub to keep the schnozz and lungs clear for the moment.

It IS Veteran's Day, and in honor of it, I forced myself to watch a documentary on the history of Arlington last night, including what it takes to be an Honor Guard.

I say "forced" because from the opening two minutes, I was in tears. It is solemn and amazing, compassionate and awesome.

And when I woke up this morning, I had to silently thank all the veterans in all the wars that have kept us free since this country became a country, and all of the service members and their families today.

So thank you all. From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU!
