War is NOT the answer...

On this day - 11 November 2011 - take a moment to honor those you know (or even those you don't know) who gave of their time to serve in the U.S. military establishment, be it one of the armed branches of the military services or in a civilian capacity for the Department of Defense (yes, there are many American citizens who do that)...

Let us all hope that the future ahead brings us PEACE and a world where everyone learns to live together and the only "wars" that will be fought will be the ones that will end hunger, poverty, homelessness, and other social ills that not only affect us as a nation, but affect the community of the world...

Peace in our time - imagine it...
