Nov 11: Thank you to all veterans & those who cannot be thanks in person

PinkieLee · 11-11-2009, 04:51 PM

THANK YOU... for me, is an understatement. My father served in the Marine Corps (and still sports the fuckin' fabulous flat top at 69 years old). Being a member of the American Legion Aux for about 30 years, I've spent most of my life surrounded by Veterans and their families. I am thankful, each and every day, for my freedom and know it's because of the sacrifices these men and women have made for the country they love.

I am very proud of all of all the men, and women who give of themselves to keep us safe. Thank you.

And I will repeat the same theme that pretty much everyone has said so far...keep 'em safe til they all come home!

I am thankful for all serving in the military taught me, and I damn sure wish I was young enough to be over there kicking ass. I think that is my only regret, I was born too old or too young. But, to those serving now, my thoughts are with you, and smack one for me.

I just finished exchanging emails with my brother and my nephew, his son, currently serving in Iraq. I thanked them both for their service. I want to thank all of the military and their families for the sacrifices they make, every day.

Another proud Marine reporting here!!! Happy 234th Birthday to my fellow Marines here!!! OOOOOORAH!!

....and a huge shout-out to all my fellow Vets here who have served in ALL branches of the Armed Forces.

Thank you to all of our community members who have so thoughtfully remembered those of us and their loved ones who have so proudly "stood the watch". We appreciate your kindness and thoughts of us on this day.

Please take a second and remember those who have paid the ultimate price and are not here today to stand shoulder to shoulder with us in our ranks, and also think of those who are serving today and are so far from home and loved ones. May they all return home, safe and sound.

Semper Fi,
~Theo~

I woke up this morning and said happy veteran's day to R. She was in the navy. I said a silent thank you to all those that are and have served our country. If my mom was alive, today would have been her birthday, so I wished her a happy birthday out loud and told her I missed her. Oh and I even took a dozen doughnuts over to the VFW this morning.
