Happy Veterans Day

Galaril · 11-11-2020, 09:37 AM

Happy Veterans Day to all my fellow vets and their families.

Thomkal · 11-11-2020, 10:33 AM

I think about our veterans often, not just today. I think about the rights we have today and what the world be like if they had not been there to defend them all these years. A simple thank you is never enough, but often needed. So for all those in my family who have and currently serve, and the ones in your family who have:

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!

I was in the navy from 85-91, aboard the USS Alabama for four of those years. Yes, the boat of "Crimson Tide" fame.

spleen1015 · 11-11-2020, 03:43 PM

1995 to 1999 Air Force for me. Planned to make it a career and retire, but what I learned was too valuable as a civilian.

My wife is also an Air Force veteran.
