Perseverance

As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.

- John Fitzgerald Kennedy

On this Veterans Day we give thanks and express remembrance.  One thing our veterans have taught us and bestowed on our American spirit is perseverance.  For everyone out there who has given of themselves in support of Hurricane Sandy relief, please continue to persevere.

This weekend I witnessed many acts of humanity and kindness.  In the spirit of Kennedy's words and in the spirit of all of the sacrifices our veterans have made for our country, the people who have performed these acts give hope and inspiration to all of us.  They are true heroes and are fulfilling the legacy of everything that our veterans fought for.

Thank you America.
