Dutch, I also join in saluting those who served around the globe in defense of the freedom, safety, and dignity of others. I certainly did not mean to leave anyone out but simply noted my country as we are celebrating Veterans Day here today. I do realize others around the world do the same, Britain and France and Belgium and Germany in particular on this very same day.
A sincere thanks again to all of you who took the oath and placed yourselves in harm's way.
