700 veterans stabbed;most will survive

To the editor:

Another Veterans Day has passed, the parades and cook-outs are but another memory. I wonder how you spent your day on Nov.11.

Each year at this time, I personally dread the duty of accompanying my husband on his hectic schedule of events, through the week of Veterans Day. Not because it is hectic - because I must witness the pain that these veterans feel over the disrespect that they encounter along the way, from a citizenry that purports to love their county and the veterans that keep them safe and free.

It takes but a minute of your time, as they march by with the American flag to remove your hat and place your hand over your heart. Most do not.

To the firemen, police, preachers and teachers - the small children are watching you, their idols, we appreciate the fact that some of you take that minute to be respectful and set an example, most do not. It is these same veterans that sponsor an “appreciation week,” for you each year.
