Thank You

:chat:..A BIG Thank You to all who Served.

To all our members of the armed forces that have given or are still giving, THANK YOU. Our life would not be this way without your efforts.

I thought these noteworthy. I fear that Veteran's day has become nothing more than a 3-day weekend to many. Let that not be true of us. What this day represents is much too important.

Thank you Wyliec. The Your post was memorable. Where would this world be without the USA???? And all the men and women who served. THANK YOU. Mom was an Army nurse and Dad was a Coastie.

:agree: ..... there are so few left who served during WWII ..... Many prayers to them and their families and to those who are no longer with us ..... Mike :thumbup:

I appreciate all the veterans who have served their country. Freedom can be very costly.

I retired from the military after 20 and didn't know about how the poppy should be worn. I did know the rest though.

To all my brothers' and sisters' who served..... Happy Veteran's Day!

Just switched on the TV to watch the Phoenix and Prescott, AZ Veterans Day Parades. Looks like good crowds watching. Lots of ROTC and Junior ROTC participants. Good to see all the participation.....

My grandfather instilled in me at a young age the importance of Veterans Day. Being of the WW1 era he still referred to it as Armistice Day. On November 11 he would dress in his Sunday best and at the eleventh hour he would pour a drink and toast a salute to those who served in the Great War. Seeing your mighty grandfather wipe tears from his eyes leaves a lasting impression on a boy. Thank you Veterans for your service.

Veterans Day for me is not necessarily Happy, but it certainly is Solemn.

I admit. I didn't know it either. But I'm glad I know it now.

When I was a little kid.....Paper poppies were handed out on street corners, for a small donation for Vet. service groups. Haven't seen that in 50+ years.
I wonder why that stopped?

Today I watched a great movie. Right now only available in Great Britain. SAS Rogue Heroes. Fantastic movie. It was the beginning of the SAS, and they weren't expected to survive, but survive they did.

It was taught to us in 7th grade along with studying "In Flanders Fields" and Robert W. Service's "The March of the Dead"

BTW if you can find the re broadcast the The Tabernacle Choir has a great musical broadcast for veterans day. Has the West Point Glee Club singing with the Choir. Beautiful tribute to our veterans. It was broadcast today on Sunday 11/13/2022.

What are you doing in G.B.?

What are you doing in G.B.?

I’m not in GB, but different networks require you be in their country to view their tv stations. So, I am in any country that requires it.
