As we reflect on the sacrifice of our servicemen and women this Veterans Day, I hope that we will also be challenged to give of ourselves. By emulating the selfless character they demonstrated in protecting our nation, we truly embrace the sentiment of this special observance.
My father served in five major battles of WWII, and was one of the first men to land on Omaha beach during the Normandy Invasion. During years of battle far from home and family, my dad experienced what was perhaps one of his greatest challenges: the passing of his father. To compound his grief, his military obligations prevented him from attending the funeral. Despite the grueling demands of combat, my dad remained steadfast in his commitment to our country.
As I reflect on my dad's life and all the sacrifices of our servicemen and women, I am grateful for the freedoms and privileges of our country, and am saddened that many of the veterans who fought to protect those blessings struggle just to secure basic necessities for themselves. Let us consider how we can support these unsung heroes, especially in these difficult economic times.
Occasions like Veterans Day cause me to pause, reflect, and thank God for everything I have. To all those who faithfully served in our military, the employees of Laser Spine Institute salute you. Our company's commitment to Above and Beyond service was inspired by the kind of sacrifice that we celebrate today.
