Thank a Vet

[Kothnok]

Just wanted to say "thank you" to all our RL Veterans, past and present.  Cheers!

Saturday was the Marine Corp's birthday, let me have a HURRAH!

[fiere redfern]

Hurrah! And lots of  and thanks to all the veterans out there 

[Emmalina]

Cheers guys! Thanks 

[Threlin]

There are not enough "thank you"s available to repay our vets for their service. Without you, there would be no freedom. Happy Veterans/Remembrance Day!

And if any WW1 vets are lurking out there (my G-Grandfather was one, may he rest in peace), Happy Armistice Day!

I would also like to express my thanks to you veterans out there.  You truely are one of the most important parts of our society and you deserve much more than a day of recognition.  Cheers!

That WWI vet is officially THE man. I had the pleasure of meeting the survivors of the Bataan Death March a couple of times also. Those men exemplify what it means to sacrifice.

[Ereeguar]

[Nasanna]

Thank you to all our vets I know it isn't said often enough!

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
Lest We Forget.

When can their glory fade?
O the wild charge they made!
All the world wondered.
Honor the charge they made,
Honor the Light Brigade,
Noble six hundred.

"Charge of the Light Brigade" all way


My fav is from Ernie Pyle though
The God Damned Infatntry
...I love the infantry because they are the underdogs. They are the mud-rain-frost-and-wind boys. They have no comforts, and they even learn to live without the necessities. And in the end they are the guys that wars can't be won without...

It's actually a longish article that he wrote and the whole thing rocks.

Lest we forget..

and all the victims of war too- the wounded, ex-prisoners,  orphans and widows.
I salute you all!

For it has been said so truthfully that it is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us the freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the agitator, who has given us the freedom to protest. It is the soldier who salutes the flag, serves beneath the flag, whose coffin is draped by the flag, who gives that protester the freedom to abuse and burn that flag. - Zell Miller (D) Georgia 2004

Cheers to all of our vets
