[Artemisia] Shameless plug for Veteran's Day

[Godwin fitzGilbert de Striguil]

To all the Veterans out there today, that have given part of themselves, 
or all of themselves for our Country, I salute you.

To the Soldiers out there that are currently giving all or part of 
themselves, I salute you.

I word it like that, because nobody can give more than 100% of 
themselves. That results in death.
Many have given all of themselves.

Many have given a part of themselves, and carry the Purple Heart.
Many have given a part of themselves, and receive a small recompense.
Many have given a part of themselves, and have received nothing.

There are quite a few folks living amongst us, who are Veterans.
You may or may not be aware of who is, or who isn't.
It is not always apparent what part of themselves they gave for their 
Country.

Today is the 'official' day that people get to say 'Thank You'.

Thank you my brothers and sisters in arms, for helping to preserve the 
freedom I enjoy right now. The freedom to research history, the freedom 
to gather, in armor, with friends. The freedom to take up my bow and 
arrows and enjoy a good competition.

To those that have gone before...
To those that will come after...
To those that live right now...

I salute you with a grateful heart.
