In 2008, Americans voted for “hope and change.” We got the change but the hope seems to have been lost in the change. I have not seen it written anywhere but Americans on November 8th again voted for hope and change, but this time it was called “Make America Great Again.” The reaction by the American people has been simply amazing.
It is the American character to answer the call of duty. It also is the American character to be grateful to those who answer that call. On Veterans Day, we express that gratitude with school assemblies, parades, and ceremonies. Every day of the year, citizens here in Maine and across America join together in countless ways to support and thank those who serve.
