Veterans' Day 2013

Battle flag of the 2nd Wisconsin Volunteers, the "Iron Brigade"

Antietam Battlefield

September 17, 1862

More than anything else, our thoughts and prayers today are with our troops on far-flung battlefields, fighting wars of no consequence for a government that has long since stopped caring.

We owe a debt we can never pay. To all who serve now and have served, thank you.
