Veterans' Day is next week, but there were a few related secrets posted this week.

This picture makes my heart ache-the little boy's face is painful.

What then got me was this statement posted under the Veteran Day secrets: "During the past two years, the US military has lost more men and women to suicide than it has to combat in Iraq and Afghanistan. [ABC News]"

My heart goes out to all soldiers, their families and friends.  So often we take for granted what they've given, sacrificed for the sake of our freedom.
