Take a moment to reflect and thank a Veteran!

Than you everyone for your service and sacrifice. I salute all of you.

A big Thank You and a very happy Veterans Day to all!

ESPN is celebrating live from my Academy this morning and I hope you can tune in to see some of the best young men and women our nation has produced and benefits from their service.

Check out ESPN2 from 1000-1200hr Eastern today for live remote from USMMA in a "Salute to the troops".

Re: Veterans Day

My family has proudly served for five generations, beginning in 1845, when Daniel Lawrence Braine was appointed Acting Midshipman by Sen. Sam Houston and continuing through my grandson, Daniel Lawrence Cornwell, USN.

Here is a pic of Daniel's aunt, CDR Alice Cooper, USN, at her retirement ceremony. That is her proud Dad, also a Navy Veteran, with her.

Thanks NYBo for your remembrance and our inclusion for this day.

A thing I was reminded of this afternoon that I had forgotten.


It is not the size of the army in the fight, but the size of the fight in your army.

Re: Veterans Day

We had the privilege to attend a Veterans Memorial and Honor service in town yesterday. It's humbling to stand shoulder to shoulder with these guys who've been at the sharp end of the fight.

Thank you all for paying the price.
