Default Re: Veterans Day

To all of those that signed a blank check, up to and including your life, for the freedom of the United States of America, Thank You

I am grateful for all of the free pancakes and free donuts. Companys' are trying to do the right thing for veterans. It is appreciated. For me, thank you but no thanks, I'll pay my own way. Some 50 years ago, instead of being spit at and called "baby killers"...And today, as a 70 year old combat veteran, with cancer because I was drafted to serve in and around agent orange, I am proud to have been a soldier, I did what my country wanted me to do...very simply a "thank you soldier and welcome home" would have done. I did not question it. If you disagree with me......then thank me for giving you the freedom to do so. If that is not enough, I am now 6'1" and 265 and a good shot,,,,,my Marine friend, Eddie, is larger than me.. No one will prosecute a combat soldier with PTSD and Cancer.

Our country will never again understand Patriotism the way it used to be.
