For something to have a lasting effect on us, it has to touch us in a personal, identifiable way.
This can apply to religion, the birth of a first child, the loss of a loved one, or having to deal with an illness such as cancer, either ourselves or with a family member. Some folks call it “hitting close to home.”
And so it should be with Veteran’s Day.
