Veterans: Thank you!
![Les Rose, left, and Jay Via, who served in Afghanistan at different times, decided to run more than 13 miles with an American flag, Monday, Nov. 11, 2013 in Troy, Ohio.](https://thumb.spokesman.com/IsVm3w5_3BbHmAM2TqPdk14kBfg=/810x0/media.spokesman.com/photos/2013/11/11/825503893377-veteransdayoh.jpg)
Today we honor our veterans, men and women who left their known lives to serve our country. May we honor all those soldiers who courageously walked into the unknown to serve America. No matter the act of remembrance - free drinks at a local restaurant, a parade, a holiday - we honor all our service people whose commitment to freedom made our gestures of gratitude possible. Peace from a grateful nation.
