From a veteran, the anons are impressive. All volunteers, unpaid, all for love of country. A civilian population that endeavors to be worthy sons and daughters of their nation.
Thank you for your service.
More accurately thank you for giving a fuck enough to serve our nation. It is a choice, and you could have chosen not to.
You likely won't get any memorials or awards or accolades, but when all is said and done no monument is greater than the lives and work and loss and victory they represent. The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, I always thought of as applying to any and every patriot who did their good work because it needed to be done, and not for recognition. We honor the Unknown Soldier because he is simultaneously none of us and all of us at the same time. He was an Anon and a soldier.
From a veteran anyone calling themselves a keyboard or digital warrior and thinking they should be acknowledged on Veteran's Day is an absolute dumbass. I'm all for this movement but typing away in the comfort of your home and actually fighting on enemy lines aren't even in the same stratosphere.
(Tomb of the Unknown Soldier) It really does apply, since Anon’s could be taken out theoretically because of their spot on research but since they are anonymous, we will never know they died. They will just sadly fade into the background, never to be heard from again.

Thank you for the kind words Fren, and thank you for officially serving our Nation in the armed forces!

Your comments about The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier gave me chills. I never thought that tomb as a resting place of an Anon, but it is so very true!

You have no idea how much your words resonate with me!

I initially read the thread title and thought the same thing.
Then I considered the anons that look up to us here, and went in the opposite direction.
Beautiful words and much needed.
