Veterans Day means something very significant to me, and many of my peers, who are veterans, family of veterans, or just generally supportive of the people who risk their very lives, everyday, to allow the rest of us to live free.
I mourn every individual addition to the death tolls of this(these) war(s).
And before "they" involuntarily draft "you", "they" have my
pleading resume on file.
Not for your sake.
Frankly,I would not want you backing me up on a one day Walmart sale.

You jump to conclusions like you actually know me, and know what I do... FYI I'm not draft able (congenital issues) even though I'd wear the uniform in a heartbeat. And by the way, I'm out here, right now looking out for your butt, but I didn't have to, after all I am a slacker Gen X'er who has everything thanks to you. I could have made better money working for RSA. Some FReepers serve this country in silence, not needing to wear a uniform, or salute an officer. They bleed and they die just like any serviceman or woman. If you think the Military are the only ones taking fire in Iraq, or Afghanistan you are mistaken. And if you think that safe and sound means not being over there your sadly mistaken as well. Enjoy your Veteran's Day, some of us will be working, keeping the barbarians at the gates for one more day.
Cheers,
CSG
