Veterans Day 2008
As always, we pause a couple times every year to remember the veterans of the Armed Forces of the United States. Today we recognize all veterans of the Armed Forces on the anniversary of the Armistice, which was the end of WW1. Previous generations of Americans referred to today as “Armistice Day”.
So if you know a Veteran, tell them thanks for their service to our nation.
I’d like to take this time to thank my now passed maternal grandfather, who served as a 1st Sgt. in the United States Army stateside during WW2.
I’d also like to thank a friend of all Republicans, “Pony Tail” Paul Cauley for his service to our country during the Vietnam War.
Lastly, We would like to thank the Mayor of Indianapolis, Lt. Col. Greg Ballard, USMC (ret.) for his service to our country in the Corps and his continued service to the City of Indianapolis.
Feel free to give your thanks to veterans who matter to you the most in the comments…

I want to thank some important people in my life (and who helped me get my career start). I want to thank Congressman Dan Burton, Rick Wilson and Mike Delph. Many people may not know the Congressman was in the Army. Rick fought for us in the first Gulf War and Senator Delph still serves our country.
I’d also like to thank my high school bible teacher, John Lofton. I believe he served in either WWII or Korea or both. He taught me a lot of what I know and believe today about my faith.
