Veteran's Day

A fitting quote from today's Breakpoint by Charles Colson:

I love the way the late historian Stephen Ambrose once wrote about World War II: "The most terrifying sight to most civilians was a squad of armed teenage boys in uniform." Whether it was the Red Army in Warsaw, the Japanese in Manila, or the Germans in Holland, this sight always meant trouble. There was one exception to this rule. "Everywhere in the world," Ambrose wrote, "the sight of a twelve-man squad of GIs brought joy to people's hearts." Why? "Because the sight of those American kids meant cigarettes, candy, c-rations, and freedom. They had come not to conquer or terrorize but to liberate."

Today we honor those who have fought for freedom.
