To all veterans...

[Pete]

On this Veterans day only five words need to be spoken


"THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE"

Thanks Pete, and the same to you.[

 

[RadishRose]

Amen!

While I'm on parade tomorrow alongside my British Veterans badge I shall also be wearing my Afrika Corps badge, presented to me thirty years ago by some of the hardest drinkers I've ever encountered and a bunch of real good ole boys.

"Lest We Forget".

I second the Amen, falcon!!

Thanks to all our veterans for your service and sacrifice.

To all veterans, Have some moments but also enjoy the honor bestowed today even in the trivial "free pancakes" and discounts. There was a time when veterans were not honored after fighting for our country in a horrible war. THAT should never happen again.
Even when I hear for the umpteenth time "Thank you for your service" on TV etc and it's starting to sound a bit forced I am so glad that the country is making the effort to be sure that won't happen again.
I'm sure my husband will be at Ihop today. If honor comes in a free breakfast then he's there baby!

I penned these two little Haiku Poems
for Veterans Day.
I love all of our servicemen and women...so proud of you :glitter-heart:

sights & sounds of freedom
and keeping us safe from harm
grateful evermore

brave and true are they
always in our hearts and prayers
bring them safely home

We attended a ceremony this evening in our town and met a delightful, spritely 94-year-old vet wearing his uniform from WWII. He said he's pretty sure he'll be back next year. What a delight!

 

[Ruthanne]

My dad was a Veteran, too. Thank you to all of you!

I served for 3 years in the guts of a carrier active in that horrible war. Needless to stay those, like myself, were thoroughly insulated from the truth of that war. After my time was up I reported to the SecNav a story I had heard about pushing a Vietnamese captive out of a helicopter in a scheme to encourage another in line to talk. I was told it was all a lie, whereupon I resigned my reserve commission, and wiped my hands of that disaster. In all fairness those in the military were just doing as ordered. You can thank civilians for that misguided mess.
