MARC DANZIGER: Veterans’ Day 2010. “I’ve always known what color ink the bills of politics are paid in – it’s blood red. But I’ll tell you for certain that it feels different when you are sitting across from a soldier’s widow and children and making small talk while buying them coffee and a yogurt than when you’re discussing losses as an abstract number in a study. . . . So thanks, veterans. Thanks soldiers and sailors and marines and airmen. Thanks for doing your jobs and I hope you all come home hale and whole, every one of you. And today especially, thank you son for stepping forward and for defending me.”
