Veterans Day

Post by shoemak38 »

I'd like to wish a reflective Veterans Day to all of us veterans, especially those of you who were in harm's way (closest I've been was carrying a loaded 45 in the mountains of Honduras). What do you expect from a topographic surveyor who spent his active duty days TDY in hotels versus being in the field, love telling this story as it drives my Marine brother-in-law nuts(made up for it during my 17 years in the Army reserves).
Our local TV station has a link to some of the free meal deals being offered today

for those of us who were in the service during the post-Vietnam era. It's nice to see this change.

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.
-Ronald Reagan

Thanks to our veterans!
Let us live so that when we come to die even the undertaker will be sorry.
