Thanks to all veterans, active duty and retired.

The annual Veterans Day show will feature wounded Marines (and a soldier and a sailor) who are in the courses of their recoveries. Each year the Injured Marine Semper Fi Fund facilitates this show, and each year I receive a great deal of e-mail about the inspiration these wounded warriors provide.

The Semper Fi Fund operates with almost no overhead, does no advertising, and doesn’t engage in direct mail or other solicitations of any kind. They rely on volunteers to assist the wounded and their families and to raise funds for the effort. Please consider a gift to this extraordinary organization and the extraordinary men and women it supports.
