CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY NOVEMBER 11, 2021
JUST BECAUSE IT COMES AROUND EVERY YEAR DOES NOT MEAN WE SHOULD TAKE IT FOR GRANTED.
I’M SPEAKING OF VETERANS DAY, THE DAY WE HONOR ALL LIVING VETERANS WHO PROTECTED OUR
FRAGILE NATION. AND IT IS FRAGILE. FREEDOM IS NOT THE NORMAL CONDITION OF MOST NATIONS OF THE
WORLD. HAVE YOU NOTICED? DICTATORSHIP, CENSORSHIP, RELIGIOUS DISCRIMINATION, FORCED
ABORTIONS, COMMNUNISM, SOCIALISM, STARVATION AND SO MUCH MORE ARE THE LOT OF SO MANY
NATIONS AND PEOPLE.
THE FREEDOMS WE HAVE ENJOYED SINCE OUR FOUNDING ARE THE DIRECT RESULT OF PEOPLE WHO
HAVE BEEN WILLING TO EARN LESS FOR THE QUALITIES OF LIFE THAT HAVE FAR GREATER VALUE. THESE
ARE OUR MILITARY VETERANS. IF YOU KNOW ONE, THANK ONE OR MORE TODAY FOR THEIR SERVICE. IF YOU
DON’T KNOW ONE, FIND ONE. CALL YOUR LOCAL VA OFFICE AND STOP BY TO SAY THANKS FOR SERVING
AMERICA AND PRESERVING OUR FREEDOM, BECAUSE THERE ARE MANY WHO WOULD LIKE TO TAKE IT
AWAY. YOU’VE HEARD THE SAYING “FREEDOM ISN’T FREE.” IT ISN’T. IT COSTS. BUT THE REWARD IS WHAT
VETERANS HAVE ALLOWED ALL AMERICANS – INCLUDING THOSE WHO ANNOY US — TO CONTINUE TO
ENJOY. I’M CAL THOMAS.
