Baby boomers are among the many veterans who have served their country. One estimate is there are 9.5 million boomer veterans in America.
Many speeches are given on Veterans Day about the contributions soldiers are making and have made to our country.
But what I think about on Veterans Day and every time I hear a news account on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan is, "Why isn't the federal government providing better services for veterans?"
See the National Coalition for Homeless Veterans' information on five ways you can help veterans.
And, on Veterans Day, I think about peace.
See a list on "50 Ways to Promote Peace" from Ben & Jerry's.
Best wishes to you and your family on Veterans Day.
