Thank you to all the veterans on the forum, and all veterans country wide who courageously have given their time to the service of their country. It's highly appreciated.

God bless you!
 
Thank you to all my fellow veterans. I thank you for your service and sacrifice during peace time and war, whether drafted or freely enlisted, in all branches.

God bless you all.
 
I am planning to go to Market Basket on Veteran's Day and buy one of their red flowers they sell and thank him in person.

I thank to my father and all veterans for serving our country. :)

I haven't went to military events for many years and Birmingham isn't veteran friendly metro.
 
This afternoon, TCS and I rode the trike (with our huge American flag flying) to our church where the school kids had a program for veterans.

After recognizing the veterans, singing patriotic songs, and giving recitations (Gettysburg Address, Preamble to the Constitution, Bill of Rights, etc.), they had all of us vets line up in a receiving line. Then each student came by and shook each veteran's hand and said "thank you for your service." It was sweet.

The oldest veteran there was 92 years old. He served in the Indian navy in WWII. He got a standing ovation.
 
I went to Shaw's and Market Basket and there was no veteran at either store with the red flowers you donate money for. This was the first time a vet outside the store . So I wasn't able to donate money and thank a vet in person. I Thanks all the vets here for their service. I also wanted to give money in memory of my mother b/c she always brought the cards to support wounded veterans.

The red poppies are usually done for Memorial Day, to honor deceased military members. Veterans Day is more to honor living veterans.

In our area, restaurants offered free meals for vets, and other businesses had special deals, such as discounts, free haircuts, or free admission. TCS got a free breakfast at Denny's. Last year, he and I got free meals at Applebee's.

Oh OK , businesses did that here too , vets could get a free hair , or oil change or free meal . I couldn't recall which holiday the red poppies are done. I will have to remeber this for next year. Some towns called off the veteran parade b/c of the rain I thought that was too bad . The rain wasn't as bad at it was reported to be.
 
Two coworkers (and personal friends) I know were Green Berets. Their self-discipline made them the most focused, on-task, and clear people at that company.

They were easily the best people to work with, and that's all *while* having PTSD.

Talk about kicking ass. Thank you for the service, and thank you for the inspiration.
 
I want says happy Veterans Day to my father who is Vietnam and my two great grandfathers who is served World War II and navy
