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' up to and including their life.
That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no
longer understand it. So let's Thank our Veterans and support our Troops for providing and defending the Freedom we enjoy every day.
Happy Veterans Day. Today I will smoke a bowl to honor all Veterans .

Humble thanks & sincere gratitude from across the pond.
My motto has always been, "Love, Respect, Honor & Support The Troops - Despise The Bastards On Both Sides Who Put Them There!"

Ooh yeah Juvat, they sure are great guys, been mates with a couple but sadly they all end up going off to work for Qantas due to the incredible salaries they offer them. Is it the same sort of deal over there?
Nearly died one day when an F1-11 pilot friend of mine, Ash Page, was at a funeral one week & it felt like the next week I'm flying interstate & the Hostie says, "On behalf of your Capt. Ashley Page", yup, it was him! Military one day, civvy the next!
Currently really good mates with one of our magnificent ADF Chopper Pilots, they're the guys I feel sorry for, damn things just keep falling outa the sky, crashing etc. I don't do choppers, hate the bloody things, especially those damn Robbos! Just watched a doco on The French Foreign Legion .... bloody hell, and I thought our SAS, Green Berets etc did it tough, nothing compares to what those dudes go through.
Stunning but gut-wrenching photo Doc = one thing I marvelled at in Lone Pine Cemetrary - Colonels buried next to gunners, then a Major, then a Private - there's no segregation in death & when I put my photos up in the Officers' Mess with such comment, they were taken down within minutes, pfft!

Thanks and gratitude to all that have and are serving here and over there.
btw Di absailing out of a chopper is a bit hair-raising when there are those waiting to do you mischief (Algeria '57 to '61 2eme Regemant D'Infanrerie Legion D'Etranger )

Thank you to all our veterans.
All gave some
Some gave all
It humbles me to think of the sacrifice & service of our veterans. We owe them so much, and our society thanks and honors them so little (IMO). I cannot even imagine the horrors faced by these brave men and women. From the bottom of my heart -- Thank You!

Morlader, smiles at your sweet turn of phrase, forever the gentleman through and through is you, ".... those wishing to do you mischief" ... and I'll bet as soon as your asses hit that turf you did some serious mischief to them my good man!

A special thanks to those who went in harm's way.
And don't just thank these people ... do something for them.

He heard the radio broadcast at lunchtime on Monday, along with the entire nation. That afternoon, he and his buddies visited the boss, said they'd be back when it was over, and packed up their desks. That Wednesday he was at the recruiting station. Not long after Christmas he was headed to basic in the deep South. He came back -- thank God -- after it was over. Thank you SGM Robert J. Kuntz, United States Army Air Corps., 1941 - 1945.
