The Bible says there is no greater love than to lay down your life for another. Each man and woman through this countries great history were willing to do just that. They signed that dotted line knowing full well that if called upon they would sacrifice their life to keep our freedoms undefiled, and our country sovereign.
Many Americans paid the ultimate price for our ancestors, for us, and for future generations. These are our sons and daughters, our brothers and sisters, our mothers and fathers, these are our heroes!
Honor the memory of those that have fought and died, those that have fought and come home, and those still fighting by saying thank you. If you see someone in uniform in a restaurant say thank you by buying their lunch. Let them know you appreciate their service and sacrifice.
I took the time to say thank you to all the veterans I know yesterday, from my father, to co-workers, to friends. It doesn't just have to be on veterans day it can be any day.

My boss is a vet. I tried to kiss him per your header instructions. Did not turn out well at all!
and to think that troops came home from vietnam to ridicule and abuse of all kinds. what a horror for those troops to have dealt with. i can't even imagine. talk about a misdirected protest.
Sorry RockStar I should have qualified that a little more before you went and laid a big wet one on a dude! He probably did not appreciate that near as much as it was intended. Perhaps go with buying him lunch next year... I'm just sayin...
K-Dogg, could not agree more about the Vietnam war era. How this country treated those veterans was every much as despicable as the way we treated African Americans. Those same people that protested the war and treated our troops so horribly are the same generation leading our country right now! Wonder if there is any correlation?
