We at the Fernandina Observer add our voices and our thanks for the countless men and women who have selflessly fought for American freedom and democracy.
Each American veteran is a source of strength and pride for our country… Americans — and millions of people around the world as well — enjoy the blessings of freedom, peace, and representative government because our veterans were willing to risk their lives for them. We are forever grateful for these selfless individuals… ~President George H. W. Bush, Veterans Day Proclamation, 1989
