To all the men and women who served, the sons and daughters of those who served, the mothers and fathers of those who served, the husbands and wives of those who served, all those who are serving now and those who will do so in the future, Thank You for your Service!
I know I’m a day late in these wishes, but several times yesterday, I was reminded it was Veteran’s Day and promptly forgot it again, even though I have a niece who celebrated her birthday yesterday, and even though I flew the flag, I totally spaced it.
But my thanks is intense and powerful, every single day of the year for ALL of you!
Thanks!

It’s interesting. My F-I-L who served in the Navy during the Korean War (in Boston the whole time) wants me to claim all the veterans benefits. I manned a desk in Omaha, Nebraska, doing the same kind of thing I did when I got out. The biggest risk I faced was that some SP would get crazy with his or her gun, which was a highly unlikely scenario.
Veterans benefits, to me, are for those who went to where there could be trouble. Not for those of us who stayed comfortably here in the U.S.
Thank you, dear Lady.
My brother added up my family’s service times and histories: Going back to my grandfather in WWI and Nicaragua in the mid-20’s (and Chinese Yangtze river patrol boats in the 1930’s) , we’ve had 196 years of military time.
