With an election just past, the 251st birthday of the United States Marine Corps coming Tuesday, followed by Veterans Day a week from today, I'm reminded of a lesson from my father's life. 

When I go to the polls every election, I feel as if I'm honoring all who've sacrificed so much through the generations so I can exercise that right. From the Suffragists to the men and women in uniform, all of you walk into the voting booth with me.
