On this Veteran's Day, the commander of U.S. Central Command at MacDill AFB, Gen. Michael Kurilla, says Americans sometimes have the wrong idea of who is a hero. "Too often, society's heroes are somebody who can catch a football for $20 million, someone who can sing a song better than the next, or someone who pretends to be someone else in a fictional television script. Every November 11th, for a single day, we pay homage to those who truly deserve it."
Gen. Kurilla, speaking at a Veteran's Day ceremony in Tampa, says celebration is important today because our veterans provide so much for so many.
