Rocksurfer, My family and I are sorry for your family's loss.  We respect anyone in the military in my family, and it is always sad to see when someone passes.   :usa:

To my friends here and around the world. For the birthdays missed, the walks delayed, the hands not held, for the boo boos not kissed...my most heartfelt thanks for your service.

To the family members of our military...the service you provide is no less valuable.

God bless you and God bless America.

Remember that this is Veteran's day not Memorial day, a celebration of Veteran's living and passed.

yes, I was referring to all sacrifices.  Time away from family is one of the worst.

This is a tribute, not only to a WWII veteran but to the tradition of respect and honor among military personnel.
Seeing the headline I was preparing myself for a story of how the country has changed for the worse...instead, I find there is still good, still hope.

I may have served but I didn't give the ultimate sacrifice, those that have are far braver than I. :salute:

Thank you to all the Marines, soldiers, airmen and sailors, since before America was America you've fought for and defended our freedom!

I'd like to wish a Happy Thanksgiving to all the service men and women. Whether stationed in the states or abroad...I thank you and I very much appreciate your service.

To my 3 friends here at work.  Thank you Vinny, Koa and Jason for your service in the Marines. They'll never see this.  That's OK
