Veteran's Day..

**pack93z** · 11-11-2008, 11:49 AM

To all those that have served or serving this beautiful country, the land of the free and home of the brave... we salute and honor you today.

Thank you.

Probably not enough.. but the meaning is much more vast and meaningful than those simple words.

Thank you everyone.
As a 22 year veteran I am always touched on this day.
After two wars and more memories than I ever want to remember it is nice to be appreciated.

The hardest thing I have ever done is visit here:

The memories are still too raw, and yes there are ghosts in that wall (mostly in the mind, but real none the less).

Awww BK!

I wish there was more I could do to show my support for the Vets

I would never have the balls to go through some of those wars and I am proud for the rest of my life to say those vets are the biggest heros ever

I am a 4 year veteran of the NAVY. I was never more honored to serve my country then at that time. How could someone not be proud to serve in the armed forces of the greatest country in the world. I also want to say thank you to every service person past, present and future.

OOOH RAHHH!!

Thanks to all the Other Vets out there. And Thanks to Pack for starting this and to those who have responded.

As STCLOUDSAYSGOVIKES said, I am also a four year veteran of the Navy and was never more proud than when I served my country. Even though I served in peace time, I still value my time served as one the most profound moments in my life.
Thank you today for each of you who choose to remember the sacrifice we all made.

I have that print hanging on my kitchen wall so I see it every day.
I am proud to be an American and god willing I will see the real wall someday.
I have however had the honor to vist Normandy, I have shivers running up and down my spine just thinking about it.
Every american should visit there once in their life, it will change your life. To all veterans out there...you have my utmost respect.
