Here's a Veterans Day tip. If you meet a service member who's just returned from Afghanistan or Iraq, don't ask, "Did you kill anybody?"

They hate that, and veterans say it happens surprisingly often.

Instead, try asking: "Did you save anybody?" It's much more welcome.

Yes - This is a day to reflect on those who fight enemies for us, many gave their lives so that we can be grateful for this day in freedom. Indeed, it is us that are saved.
