So far today, I've had the pleasure of attending two Veterans Day programs. I've shaken the hands of close to a dozen vets and thanked them. I urge everyone to take some time and think about the incredible sacrifice these brave men and women make so we can speak freely in the forum that is social media.

Thank you to all those who are serving, have ever served or will serve in the future. You are the very best representation of the American will.

Best of luck to the Augusta Beavers boys cross country team, Augusta's Carolyn shult and O-F's Kari Herman as they run at state tomorrow! Just by stepping on the course you all represent your communities well.

Just remember these wise words by which some of us amateur runners live by: “Run when you can, walk if you have to, crawl if you must; just never give up."

Enjoy the trip and bring home some stories!
