SANTA CRUZ – As the sun begins to settle over the horizon to the west of where I’m sitting here in the mountains surrounded by an endless parade of Redwood trees, my thoughts as I end this Veterans Day are three thousand plus miles away thinking of a lone sentry as he, or she, guard the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier; marching twenty-one steps, turning, pausing twenty-one seconds, turning and marching twenty one steps back down that black rubber mat again.

It’s Veteran’s Day today (November 11), the day that the United States honors those who have served in the military.

“Thank you for your service.” Every Veterans Day, I look forward to that message from friends and family members.They all know I served, in part because so many of my stories begin with, “One time when I was in the Marine Corps…” My response is always the same: “It was my pleasure,” and I truly mean it. Just as often as I’m thanked for my service, I’m asked, “Why did you serve?” It’s a fair question, considering that we’ve had an all-volunteer force since 1974, so I didn’t have to do it.

On Veterans Day, Americans gather to pay a debt of gratitude to the generations who’ve answered the call to serve in the armed forces of the United States. From Bunker Hill to Belleau Wood, from San Juan Hill to Saipan, from the Coral Reef to Kandahar, nearly 50 million men and women have donned the uniform of the United States, and nearly 20 million veterans still walk among us. Today a new generation of American heroes and veterans is being forged around the nation and around the world.
