November is a month of change. A chill in the air signals the shift from fall to winter, the beginning of the holiday season, and another chance to renew or replace politicians locally and nationally. With Election Day, Veterans Day, and Thanksgiving Day, November hosts some important events in the life of Americans. We remember why we are thankful for what we have, the ones that have sacrificed to preserve it, and the families that make it all worthwhile.
