Veterans Day and Premium Cigars

Yesterday was Veterans Day. Bailey's had some special gifts for Veterans yesterday (and today) on top of the normal 10% discount we always give to Veterans and Active Duty members of the Armed Forces. Today we'd like to encourage you to keep giving thanks to our Veterans and Active Duty Service members. We also offer some interesting reads:

Here's the history of Veterans Day from the VA.

Holt's has a nice article about premium cigars and the military.

Here's a great article from CA about Operation Deployed and Cigars for Warriors. Here's the link for Cigars for Warriors.

Times have changed and our active duty military is much more diverse and all volunteer. These men and women go into military service for a variety of reasons. They all, though deserve our thanks and to be treated with respect. Here are two seldom used quotes presented as thanks:

“Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear—not absence of fear.” —Mark Twain

“We sleep peaceably in our beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on our behalf.” —George Orwell
