The Minute Man by Daniel Chester French (1875); Concord, Massachusetts
The United States of America is a republic based on rights.
The military, which is currently voluntary, affords the U.S.A.’s basic defense.
Do you know someone who chose to enlist in the highest proper role for government? Whether you do, think about America’s military, combat and war veteran today.
Thanks, Marc. Your dad’s service in the United States Navy is appreciated here. You may already know this but Gen. George Patton was also born on this date in history. Your dad was in good company. May the veterans we’ve lost Rest In Peace.
My father was a Navy Vet. He died in 2018. Today would have been his 79th birthday.

Thank you Scott. I didn't know that about Patton, but I'll definitely share it with my family this Thanksgiving.
You’re welcome. My dad enlisted and served in the U.S. Army during the Korean War. His interest in General Patton helped ignite my own.
