Veterans Day: Jennifer Love Hewitt video message
November 9, 2007
Veterans Day is the day we set aside to honor the men and women who have served, during peacetime and war, in the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and Coast Guard. Our servicemen and servicewomen sacrifice the comfort of home and family to protect democracy and freedom. During war, they put themselves in harm’s way so that we can continue to enjoy our way of life and the principles on which this country was founded.
Whether you support the current war in Iraq, or are in the majority of Americans do not, we all support the men and women serving in the Middle East and hope for their swift and safe return.
My great-great uncle served in World War I, my father served 22 years in the Navy, and my nephew was killed while serving in Iraq. Most Americans have family members who have served in the military. Jennifer Love Hewitt’s grandfather served in World War I and recently she visited veterans who were wounded in the war in Iraq.
As a result, Hewitt has taped a Veteran’s Day video message.
