A veteran is someone who, at one point in his or her life wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America' for an amount of 'up to and including my life'.

Soldiers, Marines, Sailors and Airmen: Thank You. Happy Veteran's Day!

Thank you to all that have served and sacrificed for this nation and her Constitution.

I pray that you can forgive us for trading the republic and Constitution you fought to preserve for the obviously false promises of largess from the treasury.

Grandfather served Europe WWI, Uncle served WWII in the navy, Father served in the Marines during Korea, Stepfather served from WWII to Vietnam (Army) and I served with the Army 80-92 doing the DS1 gig. [Flower] Always caught hell and still do from my dad but the Marines did not offer the job I wanted (done by the navy for them) so army it was.

Was a good day today flying and being able to talk with other vets as I traveled. Hope all the vets had a good day today. [Beer] I forgot. Wife did 4 years 86-90. Holy crap I am going to get beat but then I am TDY.[LOL]

Some of us totally understand that freedom isn't "free". Thanks, vets!

I also posted this to my Facebook account so I could share it with as many of you as possible. I wrote these words from my heart to let you know how I really feel.

Those of you who know me know that I am a 20 year retired Air Force veteran. My wife is also a veteran (6 years).

Whether a service-member serves just one term or an entire career, they and their families all make tremendous sacrifices; sadly, some much more than others. Military service is not for everyone; nor should it be.

While an occasional military discount is appreciated, it is never expected. We do not serve for special treatment, we serve based off of our sense of duty, honor and pride in our nation and our communities. We serve to provide security and protection to those we love. And while we don't expect special privileges, we long for two simple words: "Thank you". Those two words tell us that you recognize our sacrifices. They tell us you appreciate us. Most importantly, they tell us you have not forgotten us. This is why Veterans Day is so important to us.

For those of you who have and those who are going to offer your thanks to us, you humble us and we'd like you to know how much we appreciate you. It was for you that we serve/served.

My wife & I would also like to express our gratitude to those who came before us, those who served with us, and those who will come after us. Your service makes our lives possible. We salute you, one and all.

May God bless you all and keep you safe.

Thomas

Hey, I was paid to work out, go camping and hiking a lot, and shoot guns. All in all it was a pretty sweet gig.

If it wasn't for the BS of garrison, I may still be in. Oh crap... just looked at the year. Well, I may be retired and on career #2! ;)

Thanks to all vets, past present and future.

you're welcome, and thanks for the thanks. When I was in it was a very unpopular thing and received little respect. I'm glad that today service men and women are treated with the respect they deserve!
