To the Veterans

[Army_of_One]

For me each and every day is Veterans day. Each morning as I dress to go to work and put my uniform on I spend a moment to think about the millions of those that have worn the uniform for this great country and those that wear it now. I think about those that have given the ultimate sacrifice and the family's that they have left behind. It motivates me to come to work and do my small part. I'm lucky...I get to see my wife every night, I eat warm meals every day and I'm not being shot at. To the fathers, mothers, sons and daughters that have served or are serving this great nation...Happy Veterans day...today and every day.

God bless the nation's veterans all around the world.

God bless the United States of America – where, because of our Soldiers today, and the veteran Soldiers of yesterday – is still ... land of the free . . . home of the brave.

Our veterans and Soldiers are fathers and mothers, sons and daughters who became warriors – and heroes.

Urging Soldiers to continue the fight for freedom, the great patriot Thomas Paine, wrote his own moving Call to Duty:

"These are the times that try men's souls. The summer Soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman."

And Willing To Die For Us ....

Prolly a good thing. They put you on top, then roll you under and then throw your weak'nd body onto the beach like the whale that you are. Only occasionally will they rip you out to sea to never be see'd again.

The tradition of the anvil shoot started in 1918 at the end of World War I, which was supposed to be the “war to end all wars.”

Hey, I helped Tony Dorsey Ch. 6 News (remember him?) cover the Cow Chip Throwing Contest in Beaver back in 1981. Cross Canadian Ragweed was right: The Boys From Oklahoma roll their joints all wrong!
