I got back from Brandcation on Sunday and have been down with a cold since then. I finally feel half alive today, so it is time to get back to work. I wanted to take a moment to wish you all a Happy Veterans Day and to say a special thank-you to everyone who has or is currently serving in the military. It is a hard and often thankless sacrifice that you and your families make everyday so that the rest of us can remain safe and free. No words or gifts could ever give enough thanks for that!

Also, I wanted to take a few minutes to list some of the freebies that are being offered by nationwide branches for those who are veterans or active duty members of the military. Most of these freebies are good for today only and you may be asked for some kind of confirmation, so keep that in mind.
