We honor all who have served and are serving

Throughout history, millions of men and woman have risked their lives for our country's freedom. Each member of the armed forces decided to answer a great call by giving something of themselves - some have given all by laying down their lives. Our soldiers have demonstrated great personal courage, sacrifice, and devotion to the call of duty. These patriots hold a cherished place in our history.

We commend the men and woman who follow in the footsteps of our veterans by volunteering to serve and defend America. Like generations before them, America's armed forces are responding to today's danger and challenges.

For Speakeasy Pens, we have a storied history of military personnel in our family -  specifically, Danny's past service in Operation Desert Shield and his current involvement in Iraq.
On Veteran's Day, and in the days ahead, find a way to thank these men and women for defending our freedom. Hang a flag, thank a veteran, or express gratitude to family members of our troops who are serving or have served - show your support. Veteran's Day is a day for all Americans to rededicate themselves to the cause of peace.
 
"Let him who desires peace prepare for war."
