  Veterans Day:  Recognition of Veterans.   As we celebrate and honor our Veterans on Veterans Day, let us remember we have APWU members who are currently serving in the military and are away from their families, loved one, and jobs.  I take this opportunity to recognize and thank all of the men and women who are currently serving in the military and let you know you are not forgotten.  A special thanks to all Veterans (Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines) who have served and made sacrifices to allow us to have the freedom of a true democracy and live in the best country in the world.   In the spirit of patriotism, continue to pray for and support our troops.
