  I did my job once more this year and took 2 WWII vets to the service, and they really enjoy sitting in the ranks of all thier commrades and friends, mind the seats are showing more empty spaces as they pass away.
I was just a tad too young and Canadian for Vietnam, they left me behind during the Gulf wars, and I was too old for the Afgan war but I did do my time during the Cold War and I feel some what embarrassed when I am in uniform and someone comes and thanks me and shakes my hand but I do say thanks to them and carry on. My old guys are in their 80's now so they will not be around for much longer either and so I'll have to find some one else to take to the parades and for a meal at the legion afterwards........

Thanks Chief and Troll who was old enough for Vietnam......and all the others.....

I know there are a bunch of on here. Take the time during the coming year to thank a Veteran. Welcome a Vietnam Vet home, shake a Gulf War vet's hand, buy an Iraq war vet a drink, say good job to an Afghan war vet, tell a Korean War vet that war is NOT forgotten.

A reminder:
Veteran's Day is set aside to honor/thank EVERYONE who has served our country.
Memorial Day is intended to remember all of those who have died in the service of our country.
