Veterans Day and Tall Poppies

Freedom is not free. Walter Hitchcock Serving, courage, and sacrifice are virtues in Tall Poppies and the Military. To all Veterans, I offer Douglas MacArthur's 1962 address to West Point cadets: The soldier, above all other men, is required to practice the greatest act of religious training — sacrifice.
