Veteran's Day By rapidjim (Read 740 times)

From one Vet to all others who have served and are still serving:

Thank you for your Service and Happy Veterans Day!

Tomorrow is Veterans Day a time to reflect and thank a Vet ( or 2 or 3 or 4) for his/her service to our Country. All too often, as we go about our busy day, we don't seem to take time to think of those that have given us the freedoms that we cherish in the U.S.

For those of you enjoying the Federal Holiday tomorrow, why not take a moment of your day and reflect why you have the day off. For those of you, like me, that have to work, still take that moment. Something as simple as just a few seconds out of your day to thank a Vet, will last in that person's mind longer than you think.

I am very proud of how this Country ( for the most part) supports those that are serving in harms way overseas. Unlike over 40 years ago, today's citizens may not agree with the "War" but, they do support the troops fighting it. Those serving during Vietnam were not so lucky. But, we still served to give them the right and freedom to express themselves in any way they saw fit.

God Bless all of our Veterans!!

To Jim and all of you who have served and is serving, (THANK YOU!) I have enjoyed freedom all of my life, because of people like you. I've been in other countries on mission trips, we don't realize what we have here you go to another country, people in other countries would love to come to America and have the freedom we have. (Enjoy your holiday:)

I'll echo all the well wishes of my fellow friends and vets here and this has always been a very hard thing for me to talk about and I'll also agree with Rapid Jim 40 years ago for all of us who answered the call things were a lot different than today because today whether we agrre or not we still support and remember all of those who have served. I salute all of you my friends.
