Veteran’s Day Reminds us of Leadership and Sacrifice

On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, the slaughter called “The Great War” (World War I) ended.

“I’m really glad that our young people missed the Depression, and missed the great big war. But I do regret that they missed the leaders that I knew. Leaders who told us when things were tough, and that we’d have to sacrifice, and that these difficulties might last for a while. They didn’t tell us things were hard for us because we were different, or isolated, or special interests. They brought us together, and they gave us a sense of national purpose.” – Ann Richards, Governor Texas (1991-1995)
