Editor's note: The following is a letter in recognition of Veterans Day from Texas Veterans Commission Chairwoman Laura Koerner.
“November 11th, Veterans Day, is a special day set apart so that all can celebrate and honor the men and women who served in the U.S. Armed Forces to protect the freedoms we enjoy.
“We should always remember our veterans’ selflessness, commitment to duty and service to all Americans. Showing our appreciation is as simple as saying ‘Thank you for your service.’
