Today is Armed Forces Day

You probably didn’t know this, because it is so seldom on calendars anymore, and the mainstream media reluctantly if ever makes reference to it. armedforcesday2009sm [1]

That’s particularly interesting, given the politics of the man who established the day.  Its Armed Forces Day, today.

It was Harry S. Truman who pushed the idea of establishing a single holiday for citizens to come together for the purpose of thinking the members of our military for their patriotic service and their defense of our country.

If you see somebody in uniform wouldn’t it be a good idea to give them a smile and a wave at least, or better yet walk up to them , shake their hand, look them rightthe eye, and say “thank you”?
