I agree Bill, big ceremony t'morrow at Veterans Memorial here in Conyers, I'm looking forward to display of restored military vehicles.  And.. Breakfast was free this morning at the church.
God bless all of those who have given the ultimate sacrifice.

As a Vietnam veteran, I salute all that have served this great Nation. And to those that have given the ultimate sacrifice, I pray for their loved ones. God bless all our servicemen.

Thanks to all my fellow veterans, and to my Green Beret son who was badly wounded in Afghanistan last year. He is now fully recovered, back on a team, and preparing to go back again. I won't draw an easy breath while he's gone.

God bless every one of you who has donned a uniform and served this great country.  It is because of what you did that allows me and each one of us to do what we do, and live as free as we are.  Your bravery and tremendous sacrifice is humbling and awe inspiring.  No duty is overlooked - from driving a forklift in the Navy to storming the front lines in combat, if you wore our uniform, to me you are an American hero. 

God speed to you, Rory (rpettway), currently in Afghanistan.  We hope you and all your comrades have lifted spirits on this day where the whole country stands tall with gratitude for all you are doing.

Nothing more to say than thank you and for those serving in harms way, come back home safe and sound.  We will be praying for you.

My father, no longer with us, was a First Sargent in War I. While charging across the battle field in France he jumped into a trench filled with mustard gas. His legging on the right leg had slipped down and he got a terrible burn over about 6 inches of his leg. It bothered him until the day he died. These guys and gals put up with a lot of tough stuff and kept on doing so. No matter which war or battle we owe them a huge debt of gratitude. Thanks to all who have or are now serving.
