Regardless of what branch of service, regardless of what time of service, regardless of speciality, regardless of position or tour of duty...

From the bottom of my heart and on behalf of me and my family and the liberty, security, safety, prosperity, and opportunity we enjoy in this blessed nation...

I want to thank every veteran serving today, yesterday and those who will serve in the furure. Your sacrifice, your service, your commitment and hard work has not gone unnoticed, unappreciated and has NEVER been in vain.

God bless you each and all of your loved ones...and God rest the souls of those who gave all.

Respectfully, thankfully,

Jeff Head

Indeed Gramps...may He continue to bless each and every one...and may we never forget, never take for granted, and always be vigilant in honoring their sacrifice and being active to ensure that those sacrifices are never made in vain.

Thank you to all my beloved vets, who sacrificed so much to preserve freedom here and around the world. My God richly bless you.

[Jeff Head]

You are very welcome...it is the very least I can do...along with doing all in my power to be active in the process here at home to ensure that such service is never in vain.

May HE indeed richly bless them and may we always hold them in the highest esteem by word and deed.

I think about this often, maybe more often now as a result of John Kerry's never ending reminders to all of us that he was in Vietnam. Kerry's approach is in stark contrast to most Vets including myself who have many friends unaware that I was in Vietnam. To me it is a very private pride.

I was there, I really did not want to be, and most certainly did not know what to expect before I got there.

My point is I was there 13 months and don't consider myself a hero, I do consider my friends that were with me hero's and I can guarantee you none of them consider themselves hero's. We as a group were proud of our country, knew we could count on each other and knew we each wanted out as quickly as possible yet did not want to leave with any of our friends still there.

The kids that are fighting for us now know they need to be there and I suspect were able to filter out much of the hate that was put out by the MSM during the election. They do this by being part of a group. A group not made up of individual hero's but a group that loves this country so much that they are willing to make sacrifices every day.

Amen, Brother!

This is beautiful and it speaks my heart!!!

May each one who has left us, and those who are still here...............have God's blessing, each and every one of you!
Thank-you from the bottom of my heart!

Your courage and love of Country is to be admired through-out our lifetimes!

My Dad is gone now...........but he fought in the Korean War while serving in the United States Navy!!!

To all who serve, have served, and will serve......

THANK-YOU!!!
THANK-YOU!!!
THANK-YOU!!!

What an incredibly decent thing to do.
I happened to see a young soldier from the 10th Mountain down in El Paso a few months ago. He was sitting alone in the small airport dining area, waiting for someone. I bough him a coffee and he said thanks. He said I was the third or fourth total stranger to have done something for him on his way back to Afghanistan.

[Jeff Head]

Jim, thank you for your service. In not considering yourself a hero...or trying to somehow "act" like one...you become one to this nation and its liberty. Sort of like the same principle that Christ taught...you find yourself by losing yourself in serving others.

To you and the millions like you who have served honorably and without fanfare...you have my eternal thanks and gratitude and commitment to do all in my power to ensure that your service means something, is not in vain (by giving it you have already ensured that) and counts towards our continued liberty as a nation.

God bless.

Thank you for this post. You said what most of us feel beautifully.

I add my heartfelt thanks to each and every veteran past, present and future.

Amen! No One Solider won any war, it has always been a collective effort. Teamwork of the American Troops, in all branches...Navy, Marines, Army, Airforce, National Gaurd, Coast Gaurd, Rangers, Green Beret, Navy Seals.

[Sunshine Sister]

I would expect nothing less from you my friend. Thanks for being such a great guy!

[newzhawk]

A special thankyou to my husband Capt Skip McLean(USN) my mother (USN) and to one of my favorite veterans Martin Herbstman, a merchant marine that was sunk in the Pacific by a German sub- but keeps on tickin!

[Jeff Head]

You are welcome...and thank you for your own sentiments and thanks on behalf of our vets.

[Jeff Head]

Exactly...you are spot on with those comments.

[Jeff Head]

And our added thanks and gratitude to your own for those wonderful veterans!
