Veterans Day
My last blog entry about the presidential election drew some heated responses, so in this week’s entry I’m going to try to write about something we can all agree on.
Today is Veteran’s Day, and I’d like to thank every man and woman who has ever worn a uniform of the armed forces and served our country, whether in time of peace or war. It’s looking as though many of our troops serving in the Middle East may be coming home within the next two years, and on this Veteran’s Day I’m thinking about what kind of America they’ll be coming home to. There’s no doubt it will be a different country than the one they left; that will be a good thing to many of them, but a difficult adjustment for some. I personally believe that they’ll be coming home to a better place, but it’s up to us to make sure that that’s the case.
One of the reasons we publish Fuel Advantage is to promote the energy security of our country. I’d like to believe that the more we can do to reach that goal, the less we’ll have to ask of our servicemen and women in the future, and the more we can offer them when they return home from their tours of duty.
