Opinion: Every day should be Veterans Day

It doesn't matter whether you support the war overseas or not. We should honor the men and women who are brave enough to put their lives on the line everyday for our protection. Which is everyday. We often take for granted the freedoms that we can enjoy. Tabloid news are always filled with controversies about celebrities, scandals and other public affairs. There are many times where we fail to commemorate the veterans that gave us those luxuries. Thank you to all the soldiers.

The 2012 presidential race: Ads, money and travel

While the whole nation votes, the Obama and Romney campaigns are concentrating on specific states during the presidential race.

However, the campaigns are raising money elsewhere (think California or New York).

Havoc as Storm Comes Ashore

http://www.nytimes.com/2012/10/30/us/hurricane-sandy-churns-up-east-coast.html?hp

This is the first time in years that the Northeast, especially New York and New Jersey has ever experienced a hurricane. Most of the city's power is out, and many are stranded in buildings for days. My mom called my relatives in New York to make sure that they are fine. My aunt and uncle are stuck in the hospital because of their job as nurses and my little cousin is left being taken care of by her friend's parents. Knowing that my little cousin won't be able to see her parents for a couple of days saddens me because of how close she is with her parents. I just hope that they are safe through the storm. But I know that everyone will be able to get through this.
