To Our Veterans and Current Members of Our Armed Forces
Thank You for Your Service to Our Nation
I and Other Members of this Forum Salute You!
Here's Our Best Wishes for a Happy Veterans Day for You.
Thank you, Veterans! Love, GG
Today, I salute my son, Specialist 4, Joseph LeRoy Mitchell, who is waiting for his unit to be called for training for Iraq, and he will be leaving behind his two year old son being he is the only parent and the mother ran off to engage in her own lusts and not caring about her son!
For the first time I feel real fear for my family, for if the battle is engaged with Saddam Husein, the real possibility my son may lose his life and therefore, I know I must hold my head up high, for my son will have protected this nation freedoms and liberties, and with that I will be proud!

Thank You Vets!
My oldest daughter is stationed with the VS-41 Shamrock squadron on North Island, Coronado, San Diego, CA, and for the second year in a row Veterans Day cuts a little deeper than it did before. My Dad served in WWII in the Army, His Father (My Grandfather) died from Mustard Gas in WWI, My Daughter's Dad and three Uncles were Marines, and our Family has been around the Air Force for years but having your child in the military puts a whole new meaning in the honoring the men and women of the military.
God Bless every man or woman who has served this great Country in times of War or Peace because all of them have protected the freedoms of those of us who have never served in military uniform!
Thanks to all the veterans from our family!
