A heartfelt thanks to all of you readers who are currently or who have served in the armed forces. We at NRO are recognizing the day and our only new content today has to do with veterans (living and deceased) and those currently serving.

And, please don’t let the day go by without meeting Bronze Star awardee Brian McPhillips, killed in action in Iraq earlier this year. You can read Bill McGurn’s elegy here and his mother’s salute here, both on NRO. More links are here and here and here and here.
