Salute the brave warriors

Words can’t adequately convey the appreciation we have for area veterans.

However, let’s try by first saying, “Thank you.”

Thankfully, we as a country learned from the mistakes of the past, and how we treated returning veterans from places like Vietnam. Still, there always is room for improvement.

Our veterans are the true heroes of modern day. We owe them our respect, thanks and recognition. The latest U.S. Census figures show that there are approximately 6,800 veterans in our circulation area. Alpena County showed there are 2,567 veterans, Presque Isle reported 1,487, Alcona had 1,567 and Montmorency, 1,197.

Tomorrow, on Veterans Day, we as a nation pause and recognize the brave men and women who have served their country.

And, as we do so, we’ll share a prayer, thanking God for these veterans, and seeking his blessing over them and their families.

Join with us in saluting these brave warriors.
