Veterans Day

Well it is 1:30 in the morning here and I can not sleep. It is now Veterans Day here.

I want to salute all soldiers who served for our freedom in any time and any conflict from the Revolutionary War to the conflict in Iraq.



I also wish to salute the men and women that I served with during my time in the US Army.



On this board I wish to salute all the veterans Eric, Dan, Joe, Erich, and any others that might be forgeting. If I did forget you I apologize.



I would also like to salute those that are still serving mkloby (sorry man I forgot your first name!) and Dan and any others that I might have forgotten. If I forgot you I apologize.



We Shall Never Forget your Sacrifices!

All gave some, some gave all. To all the vets here, and standing military, I salute you all. Thanks for your service, my brothers.

Never forget the fallen.

Thanks, Adler, for a pic of "The Wall". I got a good friend on that wall,
a red headed kid from Florida, barely 20 years old. We drank a lot of beer
together in the club at Da Nang...... and then he was gone.

Here's to you Charlie.......

EDIT: I could not list them all, so I decided not to make the list.

It however was a list of soldiers that have fallen in Iraq. I salute you!

Although I never served I want to express my thanks and gratitude for the sacrifice that those in the past have given and to those fighting right now. I also want to thank those on this board for their service. You could have been doing something else with your years but instead you choose to serve. I thank you.

And this goes out also to those from other countries who serve .
