Not everyone who joins the armed forces does so out of a wellspring of altruistic patriotism. But all who do are, in fact, putting themselves in harm's way and into the service of the nation, one way or the other. So I thank you all for that, on this Veterans Day.
(Below is the USS Toledo, a heavy cruiser, CA-133, where my dad served in the late 1950s after graduating Stanford in the Navy ROTC program. Thanks, Dad.)
