To all the veterans in our midst, thank you. Any further words or memorializing would feel hollow or false, so I will just reiterate: thank you. Thank you.
I have deep respect for former Off Tackle Empire writer GoForThree. So much so that I couldn't decide between several of his Veterans Day posts, so fuck it. Let's run with two of them from the old place. They are both heartfelt and powerful and thoughtful pieces. I'd recommend that you read them both.
The 11th Day of the 11th Month
I have talked to old men who were on battlefields during that minute. They have told me in one way or another that the sudden silence was the Voice of God. So we still have among us some men who can remember when God spoke clearly to mankind.
