Today is Veteran's Day. It's my holiday. My own holiday.
I texted a bunch of my friends who were veterans. The really close ones. They understand.
And now, I'm having a glass of wine and thinking about the ones who aren't here. Veteran's Day is for the living. It's the holiday where we think about those who are still with us. But still, I think about those who should be here, who should be among the living, but never got to be veterans. Who never got to celebrate this holiday as their own. It was never theirs.
