Thank you to all of those who have served this nation. Without your sacrifices, this country would be a lot different.

+1!

 

A big thank you to all who have served!

Well said and i second his statement!

Absolutely.  I thank each and every person who has served for our country.  I dont care if you were a general or a cook, your service is what has made this country what it is. 

From an article on the post today:

By Bob Manus:

 

Today is Veterans Day — né Armistice Day — the 11th day of the 11th month, and 95 years distant from the moment when the War to End All Wars shuddered to an exhausted conclusion.

 

But of course there would be no end to war, and there never will be.

 

So there will always be veterans: Men and, increasingly, women who will come to harbor in secret places the liberating knowledge that when their country called they — and they alone — answered.

 

They will forever be counted among Shakespeare’s happy few — privileged to confront an existential threat, while others slumber through it.

 

Sometimes virtue truly is its own reward.

By the way, how many vets out there got the day off today?

 

As I do every year, all of my vets get the day off.

 

God damn teachers, well the politically active ones, have a convention and they give the kids off for two days. But on Veterans Day they gotta go to school. Funny how that f'ing convention is right after Election Day, isn't it?

A big thank you to all who have served.

I did, but I'm mostly retired so I get every day off any way.

A big thank you to all who have served.
