Its not Veteren's Day yet, but I...
I was afraid I might forget.We all sometimes forget what holidays mean. Like Christmas. Doesn't matter what you believe. Its not a day of consumerism or relaxation, its a day of thought, of prayer, and of family.
Veteren's Day is not a day for you to have a three day weekend. Its a day to remember those who came back... and those who didn't.
To all soldiers, to all of heroes, to all of the wounded, to all of theguys on their last tour, to all the FNGs,to all of the fallen, to all of themen and allof thewomen of all wars, past and future.
You have my undying respect and admiration. Thank you. (salutes)

On a personal note, my Mom was overseas for a year in 2000. It was the hardest time of my life. I can't imagine what would of happened if...
... well... happy Veteren's Day.
