I'm certain only a small handful of these vets are still walking amoung us. If they read this thread or if their families can relay my sentiments, I'd like to say thanks for taking the effort to enlist in our military. It takes a lot of effort to sign your name on the dotted line and then go through all the training to make sure civilians can walk safely in their cities and towns. Your willingness to defend America is a testament to the kind of men this great country produces. Thanks. I wish I could do more, but I'm just a poor fellow who gets teary eyed whenever I think about our great military and what so many warriors have given for my freedom. So, I humbly thank you.

Today is a very applicable day to thank a vet. If your walking through a store and see a vet wearing his service cap, take a moment and say to the vet....."Thanks, I'm proud of having warriors like you taking a portion of your life to keep America safe."
