commemoration

there was no school today because of veterans' day.
at first i was really excited simply because it was a break from lectures, notes, and exams.
but i started thinking more deeply about it and realized that today was meant to be a day to remember the lives lost and the sanity sacrificed for the good of the country.
i'm not an advocate for war or anything, but i do think that the world wars were necessary.
and the men who gave their lives, and those who now suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder or still have nightmares because of the horrible events they lived through, deserve major respect and appreciation.
i know there's about a 0% chance that any veteran will ever read this blog, but i wanted to say thank you to all of the veterans out there that have, at some point, risked everything to serve our nation.
