Default Happy Veterans Day!

Thanks to all the vets, past, present, and current active members. I am proud to have served this country. There are a handful of major places serving free food items I know where I am eating lunch today..Twin Peaks.

You know what's fucked about veterans day is all these non veterans get the day off due to a government holiday. I'm a veteran and want the day off!! Lol It's bullshit. We should be having the day off Damnit!

Hell yeah. Thanks to all the vets out there. Thanks to my two granpas for serving during WWII. My grandpa on my dad's side was in the 82nd airborne (All Americans - Paratrooper) and jumped into Italy and France. He saw/was involved in some serious *** ****. Think Band of Brothers type stuff.

My dad and uncles served during Vietnam. My uncle on my dad's side did 3-man team reconnaissance (out ahead of his platoon). He also saw some very serious ****.

All Vets deserve special thanks today.

I just got done shouting out to my old army buddies. Just wanna say thanks to all I served with at the 82nd and to those we lost when i was in Afghanistan. Hope all my fellow vets have a great day. If you know anyone serving or that served, let them know how much you appreciate it. It means a lot.

Twin Peaks is the shiz...food was delicious.....the service was A++, the staff was either real prepped or just down to earth nice, some places consider doing it a burden but the addison location was great.

Thank you to all veterans.

I had the honor of playing Taps with my wife's school band (she's a teacher, not a student...sickos) this morning at their Veteran's Day Ceremony. Several veterans were in attendance, including my dad (Army).
