Following is my annual tribute to the holiday and of course it includes my customary metaphysical twist.
 
Also, did you know that this year, the government has designated this week of November 9 through November 15, 2008, as "National Veterans Awareness Week" to emphasize the need to develop educational programs regarding the contributions of veterans to the country.

While those who died are also remembered on Veterans Day, Veterans Day is the day set aside to thank and honor ALL those who served honorably in the military - in wartime or peacetime. In fact, Veterans Day is largely intended to thank LIVING veterans for their service, to acknowledge that their contributions to our national security are appreciated, and to underscore the fact that all those who served - not only those who died - have sacrificed and done their duty.
 
Canada and Australia observe "Remembrance Day" on the same date, November 11, although in Australia it is observed like our Memorial Day, to honor the nation's war dead. Britain observes "Remembrance Day" on the Sunday nearest November 11.
 
Let's remember to honor those who have defended our freedoms and silently thank them for their service. And let's not forget to include those men and women who serve and have served in other nations for the cause of freedom for all our planet's citizens.
 
And while you're at it, take a moment to honor your prosperity thoughts and the guidance of Spirit which are soldiers that protect you from error thoughts that keep you from your freedom to express your talents and abilities, and that valiantly defend you from the tyranny of negative thinking and past conditioning.
 
You will then become a Veteran of Spirit that serves your consciousness well and brings you freedom and peace.
