Been thinking about my Dad, who is gone now, my son, his wife, and my brother, all who served. Also the many others who have fallen and are still with us. I am so grateful for your service and sacrifice.

Well said Pat.  Thank you to all who have served or are currently serving.

Some of my fondest memories came while I was in the service.

If you can read this, thank a Teacher.  Because you are reading this in English, thank a Veteran.

USAF medic. 1982-1992 . proud to have served as did my brothers during vietnam and my father and his brothers in WWII.
 Today will have a new meaning for me as well with the news this morning of my father in law's passing.( another veteran) I find peace in that he made it to deer camp with us last week in Minnesota . a blessed event.
 Thank you all who have answered the country's call.

Proud to be in this elite group.  

Just got back from a ceremony here in our little town.  When the AF song played my wife and I stood proud.  

20 years for me and 24 years for her.

 

People kept coming to me to say thanks and bypassing my wife.  I know they didn't mean to overlook her it is just folks generally think of men serving.  So here is to all the men and women that have worn the uniform.

GOD bless you all

To my US brothers in arms, enjoy your V day guys...


And to all the lads who never made it home, rest easy now in the halls of Valhalla as your family are now ours...we take care of our own.

Not a day passes where I don't reflect on my time 'walking the light green' with longarm in hand or dusting the sand out of it when in the Middle East. It made me the man I am today...

Al, thank God for our allies. You Aussies were some of the very few that answered when we were involved in that little tussle in SE Asia, and I have always remembered that. Thanks!

Interservice rivalries just add to the bond that we share, so I say thanks to you Jarheads, Squids, Coasties, and Air Farce folks from an old Army vet.

"We few, we happy few, we band of brothers" Thank all vets for serving, and remember that Veteran's Day is much more than some sale at the mall.

To those  brothers from another hemisphere, happy Anzac Day to you all.
I can't say enough  for you and your Kiwi step-brothers in arms.
I was privileged with a trip to Canberra to see the Wall of Honor, the tomb of the Unknown, and  your beautiful capital.

I hope today was as peaceful and enjoyed as much as mine. To all my brothers and sisters in arms may tomorrow bring you fair winds and following seas. May the friends and family who served and gone ahead rest easy.  Happy Veterans Day.
