X2, what Tom said. John
I have the deepest respect for our veterans. They are the ones that shape and protect out country and deserve my respect.
God bless America. Jay
A salute and a big thank you to all that have served :unitedstates:
You are all most welcome! It was/is an honor to serve even in a time when the country turned its back on us. To my fellow Nam vets ''WELCOME HOME''. May we never see those dark days again.

I should chastise myself for not thanking our families and specially the women in our lives that stood with us when few others did openly. Remember they stayed home constantly fearing receiving a telegram, shunned by many for standing with us. They are/were the unsung heroes we needed when nothing else in our lives made any sense. Thank you all that stood with us.
Any person that puts their own life at risk to serve their country and protect their fellow civilians is a very special person indeed. I have so much respect for anyone that has been in that position.
Absolutly. A big thank you from here as well.
Thank you all for your sacrifice and service. I sincerely appreciate your service to our country.
Thank You! :unitedstates:

Was awaken this morning by my wife kissing me on the cheek and saying those few wonderful words NAM vets seldom heard in their day. "Thank you for your service". Five simple words that in my case took over 35 years to hear. So to all vets worldwide thank you for yours and home as you return home that your country grants you the welcome you so deserve.

Yup, did three of those, Nam, Libya and Gulf War. Libya was the scariest because Kadafi was certifiable! He had a large number of aircraft and two of his five Foxtrot subs were underway and their location was unsure. The other two were difficult but predictable. You woke up every morning expecting to engage so there was no "wondering", although I have to admit it was a bit un-nerving taking a crap and a shower with a gas mask on your hip!
I too give thanks for those that went before me, they served so I could follow and I served in the hope that none other would have to serve after me. I know, a pipe dream but it was worth the try....
