Today is a chance to thank those women and men who have stepped up to serve. Granted, we should be thanking them everyday, but this is the national day when all of America takes the time to show gratitude.
If you're a military veteran, it's all about you this weekend, and rightfully so. With Veteran's Day on Sunday, several East Texas restaurants are planning to offer freebies and deals to say thanks.
Maybe you've seen a few green lights around East Texas this week. At work, on the front porch, and on college campuses, people are replacing white lights with green bulbs to show support for veterans. And it's easy to become part of the movement.
Arlington National Cemetery in Washington, D.C. is not the place to go to keep your emotions in check. The "Tomb of the Unknown" is also a highly somber experience designed (and well it should be) to drain every last tear from your eye duct, so if you are planning a trip to see the first official memorial to honor Texans who fought in the Vietnam War...brace yourself!
