Cheers to our veterans.
It seems everyone forgot our veterans on this site so let me do it before the day ends. Thank you for your service: "All gave some, some gave all".

I must honestly say that I didn't give nearly as much as I got back in return. Absolutely one of the most rewarding experiences of my life.

You got that right Owl. When I went in I was just a very immature, with no confidence. I realized in the military that I was just as good as any of the other guys. You see, I was raised watching TV families and I thought they were all like that, you know, like Ozzie and Harriet, Leave it to Beaver, etc. The first time I ate at the chow hall I realized I had more table manners than many of the white dudes from my squadron. Simple things, you know.
Both of my sons were in the military too and I'm very proud of their service.
