Erik J Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 Thank you to all of the veterans that have given so much. One of the many - http://www.homeofheroes.com/mitch/index.html I'm not trying to start any political debates - I'm simply being appreciative for what I have.

C5 Golfer Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 Thanks to all. I served with US Army 1967-1970. I want to thank close friends Greg Smith and Steve Peel who lost their lives while serving for this country. One I do not understand is over my career I have had to always work on Veterans Day while schools have that day it off. They should allow Veterans to have the day off wherever you work.

Bubba Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 Thanks for the appreciation. Make a serviceman's day and shake their hand and say "Thank-You" as they get off the plane from an oversea rotation. My uncle was an Army combat medic in Viet Nam. I followed in his footsteps and was a Navy Corpsman (medic). Before I went to boot camp he called me up and unloaded 20 years of grief that he had never told anyone before. The night before he was supposed to come home after his third tour, his unit was ambushed and he was one of three to survive. I could rant for much longer but I will shut up for now. Service men and women don't hear thank-you enough in my opinion. Operation Desert Storm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
