As Valentine's Day approaches, our minds turn to love and all that surrounds that mysterious word. Be it a decades-long marriage or a life-long friendship, love is something we all want to experience and carry with us throughout our lives. According to the Pew Research Center, finding someone to grow old with is a priority for 81% of Americans; we all want to love and be loved.
As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.
-- John Fitzgerald Kennedy
This Veteran's Day, as we recognize the many Veterans who work, live, and visit our communities, it is appropriate to reflect on JFK’s powerful words that speak to us of the commitment we all have to live by, the truths set forth in our Constitution, and the honor deserved of those who have selflessly served to protect the freedoms we all hold so dear.
