November 12 falls after Veteran's Day. Flags are furled. High school bands have returned home.
If you were like many Americans on November 12 of this year, you did take time to honor those who have fought - and still fight for - our country. Perhaps you were there personally to watch the parades that day which took place in the largest and smallest cities.
It is more probable that you caught a snippet of the parade on the evening news. What is even more likely is that you were at the mall to take advantage of "Veteran's Day Bargains." Or, the last and saddest possibility, the day slipped past without your noticing it.
I can tell you, Veteran's Day is no discount bargain for those who have served. And, being noticed is what most will starve for over the next 364 days.
The parades are over. The services are over. Where are the veterans?
