Excellent post Wheatchex. Thank you to every service member that has served, is serving, or died serving. I'd also like to thank the families. You too have a very big part is how our soilders fight and how thier children are being taken care of. There's a lot to be said for the families also. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
If you haven't personnally thanked someone today that has served, even if not in combat, please give them a call or look them in the eye and say thanks for what they did. I make it a point to call everyone and say "since it's verterans day I thought I'd call and say thanks". It's that easy and it will be a big deal even if they act like it's not.
