Default Thank You, all Veterans!!!

You all are the reason we breathe free, and continue to do so!!!

This day should be celebrated like Christmas and Thanksgiving!!! The country should stop its business. Families stay home and reflect on what the day truly means!!!

I have no difficulty remembering this day, it's also birthday!!! I regret not serving. Wasting time going to college, that gained me little in my preparation for my life ahead.

Thank You All, Again!!!

If you were in personnel and chose my next assignment, I'd shoot you! JK! Thanks Champ.

Thanks to all of y'all for wearing the uniform, regardless of how long or short ... you served!

Heard a great stat this morn from several sources. Around 1% of our nation served in the military. So we one-percenters should be appreciated by the 99% who sleep safe at night.

THANKS ONE PERCENTERS !!!


USAF - 1968 - 1990

I was grateful for my time in the Army, great melting pot of people from different states. Combat veterans in my opinion should have every single resource available to them like quality health care and counseling for the rest of their lifetimes no matter the cost.
One of the best speeches honoring the brave men who fought for our nation

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth
.

Abraham Lincoln
November 19, 1863
