WOW thanks here in east TN nothing but goods things schools have shows food, Restaurants giving out free food to vets, this state rocks, when they do a vet's day, I came back from Nam never said a word about it back then it wasn't thing to want to be remembered . But times have changed for the good thank GOD for that our vets should never come home to what we had to. My only problem is hero now every one is one for doing you job? This word to me has loss it's real meaning police,fire dept, solder's who come back we did our jobs nothing yes honor then but leave hero for one person or almost is being saving are troops at no concern for his or her well being. If I offended anyone I am truly sorry . Senior Vice Commander VFW Crawford Overton

Your welcome!
It is very nice in this day and age that folks are actually thinking about us Vets and thanking us for our service. Not only on Veterans day, but all year long. I have folks in the shop all the time and when they see my Vet stickers, POW flag ect., they asked if I served and then Thank me. It does give one a warm feeling. As many older Vets, (like myself) know, this was not always true. During Vietnam and afterwards most did not use words of praise when talking to or about Veterans. When returning from overseas, we were spat on and called names like baby killers and worse. Back then, there were no Parades for returning Vets or folks lining up at the Airport to welcome us home. Now it is common place and that my friends means more to a Vet that any of you will ever know.
So I say, Thank You! for thinking about us and taking the time to show us you do care!!!!!!
