Three day weekend has a reson

This Monday is a holiday to remember those who served this
great country in war and peace. I thank God I did my time
during peace but I will always ask a older guy if he did time
in WWII or Korea and thank him for being a VET.

If our losses today don't bring a choked-up throat then we
don't deserve a holdiay. Give our Vets, young and old, a small
T & P this weekend and a mention at Thanksgiving grace.

And Tight Lines.

i am thankful for all my friends and family who serve.

in a way i wish i could be there next to them. but cant. and i know they wouldn't wish it upon me.

to them i am grateful. and also with the current state of affairs sympathetic. they don't get the credit they deserve.

Not fer nuthin but it kind of saddens me that a thread for our vets started yesterday has only had 12 responses until now.

Are vets so lowly considered these days?

Nah, it's just a slow weekend in general, not a lot of action across the boards.

I can't watch the news without thinking of our troops.

Paulie, once again...Griffin thank's you for your service

Same goes for all you other men and women.

For those who serve in combat, there has to be no tougher job on earth.

I watch a lot of "War" on the tube this weekend . Its great with all the old vets interviewed. Its real life info from the very people who were there and did it. Hard to find real info these days.

yes , thanks to all the vets who served our country.

That'd be me.

But no complaints here, my 4 years in the Navy were as fun as they were rewarding.

God Bless the USA and all those protecting it.
