Just a Thank You on Vet's day.

When I was 18, there was talk of re-instituting the draft. My dad told me if they did that he was going to buy me a one-way train ticket to Canada. So I never joined the service. And I've been regretting it ever since. Thank you to all those who didn't listen to their dads.
