There porbably aren't any reading this but truly thank you.:bows:

We have a Veterans Day here in America, yet you would never know by watching the news, or reading the newspaper. The only columns ever written about Veterens Day in most newspapers are found on either the 7th or 8th page, or in the Lifestyles/Variety section. It makes me very sad. I called my uncle who served in Vietnam, thanked him and payed my respects so at least someone cares. The media obviously doesn't.

Here's to the veterans of combat, no matter what the nation, hopefully the lives that were lost were well worth the peace. (raises and drinks a shot of whiskey) :beer:

Rememberance day is very special to me because my grandfather died in a concentration camp. . . fell out of his guard tower!

But seriously, here in Canada we really like to make an effort and remember our vets, so that nobody notices that we seriously underfund our military.
