Words cannot do justice to the bravery our veteran’s have shown. Here are some of the many quotes that help express a small portion of the thanks we would like extend to our veterans on this Veterans Day.

“A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself.” —Joseph Campbell

“As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.” —John F. Kennedy

“In the beginning of a change, the patriot is a scarce man, and brave, and hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot.” —Mark Twain
