Cartoon of the Week: Remembrance Day

The News-Herald, November 11
For all the veterans among all our friends and families, thank you for your service and your sacrifice. Every generation has heroes who keep the rest of their generation safe and free; and every generation owes them a debt.

I hold in my heart my uncle, Technical Corporal Vitaut J. Voselius, an immigrant from Lithuania who dreamed of U.S. citizenship. His wish was granted, immediately after he was drafted and sworn into the U.S. Army in December 1941. After fighting through North Africa and Italy, he returned home - "it is really home now," as he would remind us. He saw his citizenship as an honor, and he always believed it an equal honor that he was called upon to defend his new home.
That's the Point!

CARTOON of the DAY: Veterans Honor, Respect

The News-Herald - November 11
Today, we formally and officially honor all the men and women who have served in our military throughout the generations, to selflessly protect our way of life. Honor them with your thoughts, prayers and personal thanks - today and every day. Also, honor them by being good stewards of the way of life that they have protected and preserved. Be vigilant citizens ... vote, participate in government at every level, take care of your community and your neighbors - contribute to build a better society. They've done their part, and generations of future veterans will do the same. Let's do our part as well.
That's the Point!
