Today, we salute our American war veterans--and especially those who haven't gotten the thanks and the attention they're due. Such as these guys:
"A Michigan Army regiment's dalliance with history in 1918 was anything but celebratory: Three months of 55-below-zero temperatures. A shortage of weapons and blankets. Moldy rice and spoiled vegetables. Frostbite and influenza. Those were the conditions of 5,000 soldiers who, in a curious turn of events, found themselves in the middle of the Russian revolution. Long forgotten by history, the exploits of the regiment nicknamed the Polar Bears are remembered on Veterans Day only by dwindling descendants."
Read the whole thing. And a big thank you to all of our war veterans, and all of our heroic men and women currently in uniform.
