Kent - THANK YOU for your service! And a big thank you to any other vets here. We are all in your debt!

I'm not a veteran. Being the son of one, brother in law of two, an uncle of one, and a friend of many, I have a lot of respect for all of you.
Thank you for your dedication, years of service, hard work, sacrifice and so much more!

My how times have changed. When I returned from Viet Nam in 1970, people were not very friendly to servicemen. I was in an unpopular war, and things were very different in those days. Now people treat our servicemen and women with respect. And rightfully so. I also give thanks for all our men and women in uniform. Thank you all for your service.

Yes, A big Thank You to all our vets past and present !!

I remember traveling in my dress blues in '72 and it wasn't real uplifting, to say the least. After all the negative I got on a PanAm flight going from the west to east coasts; after I got seated a stewardess came back and moved me up to first class. I was feeling pretty down by the time I got on that plane and that simple act of kindness meant the world to me.

My son just got back from Iraq a few months ago. He called me a few hours ago,he was over at my house this morning doing some stuff in the yard to help me out when one of the neighbors came over to the house just to thank him for his service. There's been a big change in attitude in this country and I am really thankful for that. It is so awesome that our young vets can come home and be appreciated and respected for what they are doing! They deserve it. Thanks to all the vets out there!!

In my 53 trips around the sun, I have never had to serve, nor have I ever been subjected to any real conflict. This I attribute entirely to those who came before me, who did their bit to ensure that I and others like me were able to live a peaceful and relatively tranquil life. To those veterans I say a big THANKS!! We owe you so much!

Cheers,
Dave F.

A heartfelt thanks to all of you. I just returned from a visit to my neighbor, a Korean War vet now convalescing in a nearby nursing home after a stint in the hospital. He's a crotchety old character and tough as a walnut. I do hope he makes it back home again.

Mike,
I hope that the lack of respect has not caused you much pain or grief. Thank you for your service and I'm sorry that people treated you poorly after you returned from Viet Nam. They should not have.
Thank you for your service!

Happy Veterans Day to everyone. Please say THANK YOU to a veteran. Wounded or whole. Somewhere in the world today an American Soldiers will ring in the eleventh hour of the eleventh day with gunfire. The veterans of the United States military have always been there for us, in the desperate eleventh hour of our need.

I'd like to say THANK YOU to all who have served and to all the military spouses what put up with their husbands or wives serving this great nation. They all deserve the Margaret Corbin Award.

They didn't seek thanks or any praise for a job tasked out to do. It is taken as a given, they're there when you need them, forever willing, tried and oh so true.

Always ready for the call, the last they did receive, They stood to fight and die for in all that they believe.

Duty is not a hollow word and dedication is a creed.
The flag and freedom, that we honor, our words are backed by deeds.

I will ever wonder, and ask the question, why dear lord, just why?
They had to go, a family cries, another hero dies...

I see their faces in my dreams, tough and young and brave.
They were good men we loved them all, we wish they could have stayed.

The hollow words mean nothing, or the blame for what went so terribly wrong.
Our fallen comrades, they lay sleeping, will never hear, that same old tiresome song...

We bow our heads and wipe our eyes and look to a brighter day,
Remembering and forever proud, those whose motto thusly read: "We liberate The oppressed, we do not quit, and we lead the way..."
INFANTRY!
