As the obnoxious title of this posts suggests, today is Veterans' Day, the holiday where the US celebrates its esteemed Veterans for their unmatched sacrifice to our country. You may not agree with the war they're fighting in, and you may not agree that they had to enlist at all, but one thing is certain: while you're creeping on facebook instead of doing your homework, hanging out with your friends talking about the "good old days," or just walking around the mall with nothing to do, these soldiers have spent every day for about three months putting themselves in harm's way for you to do so. It takes the strongest of souls to be in the military, and they deserve something much more than a measely blog post, but it's all I can do. If you could be so kind, take the time to think about all the great things these courageous men and women have done for us over the years, and enjoy this patriotic playlist:
Toby Keith- "Courtesy of the Red, White, and Blue"
Zac Brown Band- "Chicken Fried"
Alan Jackson- "Where Were You When the World Stopped Turning?"
Brooks and Dunn- "Only In America"
Bruce Springsteen- "Born in the U.S.A."
Tim McGraw- "If You're Reading This"
And for a special treat, here's American Idol Contestand Jennifer Hudson's rendition of our national anthem. It is, by far, the best I've ever seen. Enjoy!
