Veterans

Just want to say THANK YOU, to all the Brother, and Sister Veterans on this site.
Been there and done that myself, and promised myself that I
would thank all others that have endured the same.
Have a Great Day.

Marc

thanks!

As a reminder to myself (25 years ago that I served ) and my patients, I'm dressed today in fatigues and boots. Kinda feels good...

Yes, thank you very much! If it weren't for our Veterens, we may not be here living the American dream. In these troubled times, on the verge of a possible war and the attack on terrorism, we realize how important our military and American pride are.

I'm proud to be an American!

Amen brother. Best decision I made in my life was enlisting in the military at the age of 17. Grew up, made some money, met quite a few ladies, and got two associates degrees in four years. Most intense four years of my life. Been working for Uncle Sam in some capacity now for 20 years.

Don't mention it. Slingin' bombs and floating around the Atlantic for months at a time was fun.

No regrets here. Glad I did it.

Thanks for the post.

Dan

Thanks..
After serving during Desert storm, looks like I am facing the holidays in the same senero we had at that time. With over 17 years completed I will be looking forward to more peaceful times.
But we must face this once and for all.

Nice to hear patriotism is a live and well here. I also send my thanks to my brother's and sister's in-arms, plus all those that have served. Some have made the ultimate sacrafice and I know they are in a better place to make this country proud, free and the hope of light for all others in the world.

I will hang up the uniform 1 May 03 after 30 years in service (CORPS and Air Force). Enjoyed the good and bad parts..... the people wearing the uniform always make it a memorable experience you will take to your grave with you.

Thanks Marc for starting this thread and all who have responded.

Ron
