• Sunday is Veterans Day. Thank you for giving the United States a proud military history. That history was not made without sacrifice and valor. Many of you have put your lives on hold through the ages to make sure we remain a free country. We thank God that we still have men and women who make the ultimate sacrifice for the freedoms we enjoy everyday and the right to hold our heads high as the greatest nation on earth. Thank you from all of us at Time Square Media/Results radio.
