Kelley B. Vlahos,

Veterans Day arrives tomorrow, and with it, the anticipated harvest of
heartbreaking anecdotes driving the press coverage and our ever wandering
attention back to less desirable realities: the disfigured but
persevering hero, the homeless warrior, the unemployable sergeant, the
father or son or daughter who came home a stranger and cannot be reached.

Usually, there is nothing more powerful than a personal story to pound
home the cost of eight years of war overseas, but I think today there is
something even more disturbing to bear.

It’s the number 89,457
