Sometimes Veterans Day is a sad day for me, a day of reflection and remembrance, so thanks Road Dog for shining a bright light on the successes and quality of our present generation of military personnel. It cheers my soul.
Happy Veterans Day to you. And please pass the word to the troops you meet in your travels.

Love hearing these kind of stories.
Which reminds me of a comment on one of my local tv stations, here in the DC Metro area, which preceded a story they were doing this morning on the troops still in Afghanistan. The comment was to the effect, “troops in Afghanistan are often overshadowed and forgotten by the events in Iraq.”
BULL! The only ones who forget them is the MM. We never forget those outside the continental United States.

I’ll look forward to hearing it.
You be sure to let them all know how many there are of us back home that are praying and routing for them, ok?
And, Thank you for your service!

That's what I did, and they did back in '96. This past April, I hit the big Six-Oh and the Eagle takes a small dump in my checking account each month now.
I wish I had taken better care of my knees. I could have been back in harness and helping a bit more. Thirty-two years just wasn't quite enough.

I know what you mean, my brother. If they would allow it, I’d stay longer.
