Default Veterans day

Well to all those dudes and high speed women who have served
It's a good feeling knowing some of the crap things you had to do to make this country safe.
Training, tough and realistic!!!!


But for some it was there last convoy home, to those who said I will go, and I will do it!!!!!

Just wanted to say thanks to all the vets for everything that I have and take for granted! If not for our military, none of us would have any of the things that we love, much less speak this language.

Thanks again!

The Veteran's Day parade in downtown Dallas was pretty awesome today. I was fortunate enough to be able to attend. Yet another freedom I/we would not have if it was not for each and everyone of our military personel. THANKS!!!!!!!!!

I wanted to share an experience I had recently - I was at DFW airport waiting to leave on yet another business trip. A few gates down I start hearing clapping and cheering. People were starting to stand up and a few gentlemen took off their hats. I couldn't figure out what was going on at first, and then I saw it. Along the walkway that runs above the gates, a line of soldiers (maybe close to 100 of them) were deboarding. As they made their way, walking above the crowd, past several gates, behind the walls of glass, the crowd got bigger and louder. You could tell by the smiles on their faces that they heard the roar of that crowd. I have to admit, I cried. No matter what your opinion or view point is on this or that, there is one thing that we all agree on........that those men and women deserve nothing but respect. Pride, pride is the only word I can think of to explain how I was feeling. I was proud of our servicemen, and I was proud of all of the people cheering for them. We must stand strong, stand together and stand behind our military, every day of the year. There is no way we could ever repay the honor our servicemen bring us, but we should never stop trying.
Thank you gentlemen, thank you ladies, thank you for protecting our freedom.
Stay strong, stay safe and we'll see ya'll when you get home.
