Happy Veteran's Day

Today is Veteran's Day. We want to take this opportunity to honor our family members who served their country. The Elder Luna (may he rest in peace) served in the Pacific theater during WWII. He was in the Army Air Corps, which later separated from the Army and became the U.S. Air Force.


It's also the 233rd birthday for the US Marine Corp. The Elder Estrella (may he rest in peace) was a marine who served in Korea. As the story goes, he first served in the Army but after his discharge he decided he wanted a greater challenge. So he enlisted in the Marines.



As we remember those who have come before us, let us also remember those who are doing their duty today. Whether we agree with the current wars, we have an obligation to our soldiers and their families. You can help by calling your Congressional representatives and senators and ask that they support greater funding for veteran's health care, especially mental health care. You can get more information and sign the online letter at http://standup4vets.org/.
