Veteran's Day

[Jughead]

For some of us, this is a long weekend due to the Veteran's Day holiday on Monday November 11th. This is a time for all of us to thank all military personnel, past and present who have fought in various wars. This is especially true for those who have paid the ultimate price so we may continue to enjoy our freedoms and quality of life. Many towns will be hosting parades to commemorate this special day.

I know that most of us know some war Veterans (friends, family, colleagues or neighbors) whether it's from the Vietnam war, Iraq or Afghanistan, we should take this opportunity and get together with these folks on Monday to thank them for all they've done. For those of us who plan to invite war Veterans to a family dinner on Monday, the Buccaneers will be hosting the Dolphins (8:30PM Eastern Time on ESPN). This will be a great opportunity to enjoy the game while having a few beers after dinner. Personally I prefer dinner/football over the parade, but that's just me.

Anyways, we should always acknowledge our Veterans and thank them for their service, not just on Veteran's Day. I know they will greatly appreciate the gesture.

And thanks to Connery, last night, and you today, Jughead, for bringing these worthy tributes to those of us to cherish our soldiers, past and present, and realize it is from them, our liberty came.

I them all...

This poem seems appropriate:

Secret Respect

There’s not a Fascist in the USA
Who doesn’t, in their true heart, say
I’m thankful for those who serve and fight,
So I can peacefully sleep at night.

No partisan politics can keep away
The gratitude I feel, but cannot say
To veterans who kept America secured,
With all the hardships they endured.

Away from family, friends and more,
They knew what they were working for:
Keeping freedom really free
For the right, the middle, and even me.

Veterans, you have my deep respect,
Even if it isn’t politically correct.

By Joanna Fuchs

 

[JakeStarkey]

To all our veterans, from the far left to the far right and the many who are not political at all, thank you for putting aside the petty strifes to be willing to protect all our lives. I am so grateful to have been associated with so many fine men and women in the armed forces.

Thank you.

Thank you.

And you, JakeStarkey, are one of those who served our country, and to whom I am more than grateful.

 

[Mr. H.]

Going to visit evil stepson on Monday (and new grandbaby ).
He's a good kid. Two tours Afgh, bronze star.

 

[WinterBorn]

My heartfelt thanks to all our veterans. I am proud to have served with you!

REMEMBER

I’ve fought.
I’ve killed.
I’ve done my best
But now a crimson tide ebbs from my chest
To wet the grass and stain the ground
While stinging flies swarm all around
And man-made Hell tears at the sky
Heedlessly, while I lay and die
Cold
And alone
Half a world away from home.

Oh God. The pain. The Pain! The PAIN!!
Twists my body. Sears my brain.
Gasping breath through gnashing teeth;
The hand I long to hold is out of reach.

Now the loneliness, the chaos, the pain
All begin to fade
And I find to my surprise
That I am not afraid.
Now the darkness gathers,
I can no longer see.
My God. My Country
Remem… remember…

"War drew us from our homeland in the sunlit
springtime of our youth. Those who did not come back
alive remain in perpetual springtime
-- forever young --
and a part of them is with us always."
