Veterans Day is a day we set aside to honor all those who have served
their country. Yourself and Bill Walker should be ashamed of
yourselves for trying to turn it into a referendum on America's
presence in Iraq. Soldiers go where they are sent; they do not set
policy.  If you don't think veterans are worthy of our honor, at least
have the decency to keep silent.
