It’s been said that “poor is the nation who has no heroes. Shameful is the nation who having them – fails to honor them.” Retired Brigadier General Arnold Gordon-Bray had a 35 year-long career in the Army and served in a variety of capacities all over the world. He says in his younger years Veteran’s Day was just another day off, but as he’s gotten older he has come to realize the importance of honoring our nation’s heroes and celebrating the legacy of military service. The General is a family man and a student of history, which in itself gives him hope for the future.
