A veteran is someone who, at one point in his life wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America ' for an amount of 'up to and including my life.' That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.''

again, my thanks, to all of you........

As a veteran, I would like to say thanks to those who went before me and to those who follow in my footsteps. I am proud to be in your ranks.

I LOVE this comic of PVT Murphy's Law. It's from Veteran's Day 2007.

For those who don't know this strip, please check out the archives if you were Army especially.
