Veterans Day

THANK YOU VETERANS

In approximately 6 days, it will be Veteran’s Day. I didn’t want to wait until then to express my gratitude for those who have served, and to the families in which supported their Service Member. Thank you for Serving America.

Its fascinating to think of all the men and women throughout time that have deployed to military bases that sit literally across the street, or to far away foreign lands to fight often times an unseen enemy.

I’m thankful for what you have done, the sacrifices you have made, and sure would like to hear one of your memories that you may be revisiting this week due to the Holiday on 11/11…

I’m posting this here because at some point, you have found yourself behind a military issued weapon and there has to be a story that goes with it…

Semper Fi, Dave

Re: Veterans Day

Another commercial endeavor using our Military as a front...? Are you in politics sir?

Re: Veterans Day

Oh yeah, heaven forbid we set atleast one day a year apart for honoring our troops. Every damn day should be Veterans Day IMO. Having a Grandfather survive the European Theater in WWII I am proud to honor those alive and those that have fallen supporting the cause of Freedom. How dare this be insinuated as a day for commercial gain or used as such. Atleast this was, maybe mainstream society may take a moment that day and ponder why they can live the way they want to.
