Happy Veterans Day
 
Just wanted to wish all the Veterans on here a good day. I personally did not serve but appreciate those that did and have for their sacrifices for this great country.

Add my sincere thank you as well. To all those who serve now and have served before, thank you for all you are doing and have done. If it wasn't for your service, we may not be able to enjoy the freedom that we have today and perhaps not be able to enjoy this little song from years ago.

I served in the United States Marine Corps for four years and I was the thirteenth Marine in my family. I'm proud to have served and would do it again in a heartbeat. I also thank all the men and women who have served and are currently serving. I pray for you all every night.

Air Force for me but I agree 1000%. As a medic in the war I saw how minimal my sacrifices were compared to so many others. Sacrifice and service teaches you more about yourself than you'll ever know otherwise.

And thanks to Ken for the YouTube link. God bless America.

Went to Appleby's for lunch.For the past three years they've given all vets a lunch munu on Veterans Day.I noticed there weren't as many vets there today,especially the from theWWII era.That's a real nice gesture ,I'll be sure to patronise them in the coming year.And the food is good too.

My late father was captured during WW2 and luckily escaped while being moved to a prisoner camp.
Many that went never made it back.
While talking to some Peral Harbor survivors recently, I was told of how some lived with some guilt, having survived while their mates died.
We were told that one who died earlier this year requested to be buried with his mates.
His wish will be granted, an urn will be passed through a crack in the sunken Arizona this coming December in a ceremony held on the day of the attack of Pearl harbor.
Ed is right in saying there are fewer veterans as time goes by and all the more important we thank all those still with us and help those that are in need.
