From the AP: "Pearl Harbor survivor Houston James of Dallas embraced Marine Staff Sgt. Mark Graunke Jr during a Veterans Day commemoration in Dallas. Graunke lost a hand, a leg and an eye when he defused a bomb in Iraq last year."

We are still at war. And this election result should require all of us to lay aside partisanship and figure out how best to honor those serving us and how best to secure the least worst option in Iraq.
