    Thank you

    It is nice to be thought of now---I suspect when most of us around here got out we were lower than dog chit

    I make a point of telling anyone I encounter in uniform---"thank you for your service".

    It is a good day. Our Veterans should feel proud of all they've accomplished.

    I imagine if this gut In SF is real all that praise and adulation will be gone soon. If somebody soon doesn't remember who we were We're just going to be another third world country. I actually feel bad for pushed my son into the military.
    This is your mind on drugs!

    Yes thanks guys!. I can go in the VFW but but my wife has to get me in.

    I have two nephews who are Navy Seals. One of them didn't answer me back which means he is still out there somewhere at an undisclosed location He has the most dangerous job I have ever heard of

    Thank you all again for all you have given.
