Salute to my fellow Veterans
- Thread starter Jim Allen
- Start date
Thank you very much to all Veterans for your service!
At the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month, the "War to end all War" came to an end, and since, in many allied countries we honour armed forces members who died in the line of duty with Remembrance Day, and in the US, honor all veterans with Veteran's Day. Thank you all who served.
Huge thank you to you @Jim Allen and everyone else on the forum who have served to protect our beautiful country!
My thanks for your service.
And to your families for their sacrifice too.

Lots of free meals for Vets tomorrow if you can take advantage of it. I'll be at Applebee's for my free steak for lunch. Thanks to everyone for their service no matter how long or short it was and to those still serving.
You were AF right? Happy Veterans day tomorrow!
Yep! - 28 years, 9.5 enlisted, the remainder to 28 years retired as a LT Col. Great times, great memories and got to see most of the world, particularly the Far East, Europe and Middle East. If you are an employer - hire vets, they are the best.

Thank you @Mike Cline . Happy Veterans Day to you and to all vets! My dad is retired Air Force. He is 88 now. One of the best things i learned from him (but not the only thing) was having a good work ethic.
Hanging out my flag today!
Jim - I too avoided bullets flying. I enlisted in the Navy in 1968. 51 years ago this month I made my first of three cruises to Vietnam and thankful to be on a support vessel(s) (USS Ajax, AR6 and USS Hector, AR7) and not on the USS Higbee, DD806.
Hope all you veterans had a great day yesterday. My son is not a veteran yet, but is is in the Navy Reserves with three active duty deployments under his belt. Came home for the long weekend and his choice for Veteran’s Day was to go upland bird hunting. We had a good day.
