If there are any Marines out there, Happy Birthday. Today, 11/10, makes it 232, I believe.

Tomorrow will be Veteran's Day. Unfortunately far too many people in this country won't remember and/or won't honor us vet's in any way. That's OK by me. Thanks to us, they have that right.

To all of my brothers and sisters out there who served honorably, thanks for just being there.

And a tremendous thank you to all the veterans from me as well - I never had the honor, but my dad served as an Army medic.

There are no words adequate to express the thanks and gratitude I have for all the men and women who served in the armed forces to keep our country free.
Dont be too sure it is a forgotten day. There are many of us who do remember. And I will make it a point from now on to keep it fresh in the minds of my grandchildren.
When the vets are selling poppies and you make a donation, they always say thank you, and I say in return, No, THANK YOU.

There can not be Thank You big enough to properly express what is truly owed to those who gave and protect for us the country we enjoy and the opportunities it enables.

Bets are that our sport gives greater salute/tribute to our folks in uniform by far than any other professional sporting event televised today. Even with those things some may dislike about the place and direction of the sport today, ya gotta respect 'em for this.

Likely football won't even find the time or find it significant enough to make time for even the national anthem today (televised). If our sport ever gets to this point, I'm done.

A BIG THANKS TO ALL OUR VETERANS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[3fanforever]

God Bless all our veterans, especially those of you at this forum.
Because of you, I can enjoy the life I'm living in the country I love.

Happy Veterans day to all those who have served, My grandpa who has passed served in ww2, my dad served in Vietnam he was a land mine specialist, my brother is serving Korea, he has another year before he is a sgt, major, I have much respect for anyone who fights for our freedom, and a big thank you..

All veterans and those currently serving are in my thoughts every day. As the proud mother of a former USAF EOD Tech, who is now home pursuing her "less explosive" interests, as she says, I also wish to thank all of the parents, children, brothers and sisters of those serving now and in the past for their endless support. To sit at home waiting for your loved one is a task I was totally unprepared for and at times did not handle well. It takes strong people to raise the brave men and women who put their lives on the line. To every member of the Armed Forces, past and present, and to all those who love you, I raise my glass.

In this part of the world 11/11 is known as Armistice Day, and at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month we are supposed to take some time to think of, and give thanks for those who made the ulimate sacrifice.

I'm proud to say that I do.

God bless them.
