Today is a special day for veterans of America's armed forces.
It is, of course, Veterans Day. But this Veterans Day is especially bittersweet for Franklin County vets. They, at long last, will pay a lasting tribute to local comrades who gave the ultimate sacrifice for their nation. Remembering that so many men and women have died in America's armed conflicts is not a heartening thought, but we must remember them. What is sweet about today is the completion of the local memorial.
