To the Editor:

With Veterans Day here and gone and our son facing yet another deployment to a war zone, a few thoughts occur to us. We realize that for those of us who don’t have a loved one serving in the military, it’s easy to forget what these brave Americans and their families go through. Perhaps the disrespectful NFL players and the people who are tearing down the symbols of our history and heritage should be sent to Afghanistan on an enlisted man’s pay.
