HAPPY VETERAN'S DAY

by Alpha6 on Nov 11, 2009 1:02 PM EST

I'd like to take the time to thank members of the United States military, past and present, for their service and sacrifice.

This Veteran's Day, as you wish the veterans of previous wars and conflicts fought a Happy Veteran's Day, remember to do the same to all the young soldiers in your area who have recently returned, and please take an extra minute to thank the family members for all that they have been through. Often times their situation is worse than ours.

Happy Veteran's Day to all present and past military personnel and their families. Thank you for all you have done!

A salute to our veterans.

To those that have served,
to those like Mosul_DolFan and Vanman_FishFan13 that are serving,
and those like Farorefox who are chosing to serve,
thank you and your families for your sacrifices.
My family and I pray each night for your safety.

FishNFinz was the only one who I had heard was a vet so far.

I was so close to getting into Annapolis during highschool. Stupid congressman recs. If I had gotten a rec, I probably would have gotten through the rest of the screening.

In the Air Force, it's more important that you were a pilot, than an academy guy.

but I think there was still a ceiling for ROTC guys.

i have added recognition to our fallen soldiers in my website...

and will continue to support our troops until they come home. When they hand the relatives an American flag folded 13 times,that only means they have died serving our country. As we go thru our daily operations,these families have the added burden of losing a loved one. We complain about football,while our country stands and fights for us…Unsung Heroes. Thanks for the post!!..ZERO 13=No More soldiers deaths!!!
