Happy Veteran’s Day From All Of Us At MMO
An article by 
On behalf of everyone at Mets Merized Online we would like to take some time to remember and honor all of the brave servicemen and women that have served and continue to serve our great country.
Each Veteran’s Day we have an opportunity to recognize all the amazing men and women who make up the greatest military in the world. They faithfully protect our borders and our freedom and our way of life.
With the Manhattan VA shutdown after damages suffered during Hurricane Sandy, tens of thousands of veterans are now being served by the Brooklyn VA where I go for treatment and sometimes volunteer. The lines there are unbelievable now as I was there on Friday. It’s going to be that way for 6-8 months until Manhattan opens again. It’s very tough right now. With many of the active duty troops coming home and needing help physically and psychologically, you can imagine how crammed it is, and the shortage of beds is a growing concern. So hug a veteran today and just say, thanks…
God Bless you all for your unwavering loyalty, patriotism, strength and courage.
Happy Veteran’s Day!

Hi Joe,
We all share in your sentiment. Nothing more needs be said.
Our servicemen and women and our veterans in survey after survey are the most admired and respected Americans, right behind the clergy. That just warms my heart. I would put the Mets third, but that is just my opinion. Our servicemen and women-American Heroes!!
Happy Veterans Day to all you heroes! God bless you.
When my wife and I went to Hawaii our tour included a visit to Pearl Harbor. Like many vacationers, we were excited about going to a place of history but as our jitney slowly approached the areas where ships had sunk that feeling slowly began to change. Then we went from tourists to somberness as we looked down at the hull of the Arizona with the understanding that we were gazing upon the permanent resting place of so many innocent men whose last moments were filled of pure terror. We began to cry and left the memorial much different – and hopefully – much better for that experience.
