For the first time in a long time, I have Veteran's Day off (I'm usually off on Wednesdays).

I got home on October 1, 1983. Wow- I've been out of the Army over 26 years now. The Kaserne where I was stationed Frankfurt is long gone, and my unit was dismantled in the early 90s. (3rd Armored Division, V Corps)

Now my son is talking about joining. Life does change.

 

[Homercidal]

Never been in the Military, but my hat's off to those who serve.

USN 72-79 Had one Veteran's Day off in my working career. I'm glad national service is regaining the honorable place in the public eye, that it so richly deserves.

Thank you all who have served our great county.

Amen! I proudly raised OUR FLAG in my front yard this morning before heading to the office in celebration and remembrance of our veterans.

Freedom is more than being able to go where you want, when you want and it is NOT free. It is paid for with the blood, sweat and tears of Veterans and their families.

"E Pluribus Unum" means NOT celebrating diversity, but celebrating unity. "United We Stand. Divided We Fall!"

"One Nation Under God" is the foundation for the Declaration of Independence. Without God, only the government has the power to grant you unalienable rights.

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." Note that nowhere does it guarantee them or say the government will provide or supplement them.

Sorry, got on my soapbox a bit. I hear things everyday that lead me to believe that many people forget these things or take them for granted.

Hats off and thanks to all of you. My wife thanks you too. She's a teacher and out of school.

 

[TeufelBrew]

To those still serving, THANK YOU, and my families thoughts and prayers are with you every day.

To the families of those who have lost their lives while serving, THANK YOU! Your losses are not felt by you alone.

Thank you so very much to all the veterans who served or are serving our great country. Thank you for protecting and defending our freedom. The government isn't what makes this country great, its the people who live here. I salute you and raise a pint in your honor. Prost!
