I was just checking out the site & was bummed to see that there was no acknowledgement of Veterans Day.
I am not looking to start a political discussion here, and really don't care to hear anyone's opinions on the current wars; it is about thanking these individuals who have sacrificed so much defending our freedom. I just wanted remind everyone to remember & thank our friends & family that are currently serving or have served our country. To all of the members out there that served our country - Thanks!!! |

I took yesterday off and worked on my 914, visited some fallen friends (Including my father). It was a good day.
Thanks to all that have served and given so much. I am always grateful to have the freedom to do the things I love doing. |

I spent the day with my brother (also a veteran) pulling my boat out of the water. A beautiful Fall day in New England, low 40's & windy. We froze our asses off & had a great time.
I find it amazing that so many take for granted the freedom we have in this country. I have the utmost respect for all you Vietnam Vets; I drilled with a bunch of your brothers when I was a weekend warrior years ago. I always found it disturbing hearing stories about the attitude you had to deal with when you returned. Thank you all. |
