Happy Veterans Day to all the brave men and women who have served our country to protect the freedoms we hold dearly. I salute you all.

How many Veterans do we have here? Thank you for serving our country. I hope today finds you well and happy.

Another big thanks to all our veterans for your selfless bravery to ensure our freedoms. I salute you!

What a nice post. To all of you who have and are now working hard to keep our country safe, thank you.

God Bless our Veterans and Thank You for your service to our Country!

VDOT is starting a hiring program for disabled vets with experience in surveying and other transportation positions and a training program for the disabled without experience.

In the UK it is Remembrance day with poppies...11am...11 month, day 11.

Thank you to all the Veterans, those here now and those who have passed on. You are much appreciated, much more than you will ever truly know.

And I say that to all the military, even the ROTC I see here. Thanks!

Last night I watched PBS's "The Battle of Britain" with two vets, from other eras and war zones- but we all thought it was excellent. Absolutely see it, if you can. The visuals were so awesome, and they told the entire story within themselves. Outnumbered 3 to one and from above (mitchzes-fighters) and from below (German bombers). The new pilot life expectancy was about 6 days, but in some cases was 3 hours. The few who saved an entire and prevented the final invasion of the British Isles:

Another hurrah 66 years later to the 550 who literally changed the entire history of more than two continents for at least a century- the RAF- and with total selflessness. We have only a few survivors left- but one can still do 6 g's.

I am not a veteran... well, not a veteran of a war, but I do appreciate what others had done and keep doing!



But I am a veteran of Fodors, does this count?

United States Marnie Corps 1967-1971.

My wife says I need to start putting out the flag. We used to have one but I guess it got lost when we moved.

I also used to have a spell checker. It must have gotten lost during the move.

Thank you to those who have served our country.

This gives me a lump in my throat. We go to Dollywood frequently and at a lot of the shows, they will ask the vets to stand. The applause always makes me a shed a tear. And, I am also so happy to be sitting next my man as he stands.

Let freedom ring

There is no bigger lump-in-the-throat to be had on the Planet than the one you get when your Soldier sends you a letter or an email, the Soldier you have been Angel to.A fantastic high!

Thank you to all veterans for your service to our country!

United States Air Force 1962-1970.

I had an emotional moment yesterday related to that. For the past three days, I have been visitng my son and his family who live near Bryce Canyon. Yesterday morning, there was a community ceremony to honor all the local veteran's. Since my grandson was singing in the program, I attended. when the organizers found out I was there, they insisted I come to the front and be honored with the local vets. I didn't get much acknowledgement of my service in the 60's and 70's so this brought a lump to my throat.

Korean duty was part of a seven month around the world cruise via Panama and Suez Canals.

Yes, a big salute to the vets and those currently serving our country.

May we all live safe and free, thanks to your good service.

dwodden, very nice story! My deepest respect from a mother in law of a Navy petty officer.
