Joe hopes everyone who can is enjoying Veterans Day. Joe is.

And please take a brief moment of your day to think of those who paid a price so people like Joe can have this blog without fear of being thrown in a gulag or cooler for not drinking Son of Bob Kool-Aid.

If you happen to know a vet, thank him (or her).

Joe read something last week that he plans to make an annual tradition: If you are working today, when you leave for home, or if you have a few minutes in-between running errands, stop by a local American Legion hall or a VFW post. Buy a round for the vets.

Joe can’t think of a better way to honor them. In fact, Joe just might just join a few vets in a cold one at a local watering hole.
