A Day and Group Actually Worth Remembering

[Ehwmatt]

Never forget all of the sacrifices, courage, and patriotism our veterans have shown us over the years.

I am not one for "Remember This Day" kinda stuff, seeing as how there is a day for everything these days, but these men and women deserve to be specially remembered for having the fortitude to do something 99% of us wouldn't even dream of doing, let alone be capable of doing.

I am not one for "Remember This Day" kinda stuff,

I am!! My dad was in Korea and was a very proud (Army) Veteran!!

Hey hey now, I said in general. I am certainly all for today! This is truly a day that every one should stop and remember, even for a few seconds. Thanks to your dad and all others!

I know what you meant... I meant "I am" as in "neither am I usually, but I AM on board with this one".
Sorry. Not enough coffee yet!!

Remember and respect the people.....not neccesarily the cause.

[Blueskies]

Happy Veterans Day to all of those that have served...
and to those in my family that have served and those that do today... especially my son.
I thank all for their courage, honor and sacrifices. God bless them.

the cause is USA soverienty... the continued freedom and liberty we all aspire too... IN 100% of MILITARY ACTION...
you might have your disagreements, about having to fight some wars in distant countries... but truely lame to say that the cause MIGHT NOT BE worth it...

[artist4perry]

And to all our service men and women on MR...........a special salute! HOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAH!

That's BS. No soldier has actually fought to defend this country since WWII. And thats a fact. All this other stuff has been military nonsense. Rich old men sending other people's kids to fight their dick-waving contests for them. War is the biggest revenue generating vehicle in the history of man.

I am sure my wounded neighbor would disagree with you. But since this is a thread about our vets...........shouldn't it be about them and not political views?

SM you seem to have your panties in a wad as of late.

Why? Cause the topic is a controversial one? Yeah, let's tip-toe around the extremely controversial issues as to not upset the natives. I had an opinion, and I voiced it. I'm not changing my tact, views for anybody...regardless of what day it is.

Today should be about veterans who served prior to 1946 or so....after that - not a chance.

That is your oppinion..................voice it in the political thread. I am proud of the troups past and present. Many are my friends. You seem to want to fight. Pardon me if I don't have the time to waste.

Thanks for this post S2M, I get to keep my promise to myself not to respond to make you look like a total idiot - you've done it all on your own.

Are you a veteran? I didn't think so. I, however, am....and I don't even think I deserve to be congratulated. So your credibility goes right out the window.

if you so dislike what we do military since 1946...why did you join to begin with??? Just a question... and you are right to voice your opinion...just as those who support what the troops do...

my wifes brother was killed in Vietnam... her other brother is retired airforce..... her dad was D-Day +2... battle of the buldge... he saw it all.. war was hell...but the freedoms gained... is the cause...
my dad was WWII towards the end of it... he hated war himself, but they all know the reasons why they serve... the troops--most of them know why they join and serve... for today and tomorrow... and the next generation... just my thouhts...

today I honor all the vets my way... by saying thank you for all you do!! Just know ALL of our freedoms our fragile...

Jeesh, now I know how Copernicus must have felt.....

Correct your posture, soldier....you've been slouching.

[StevePerryHair]

Jeesh, now I know how Copernicus must have felt.....

I understand what you are trying to say... I think you just feel the military is used for political games and pawns on a big playing board and the wars are meaningless and not for what you consider a real cause. Or a cause worth defending. Am I right? Which yes, I think that is happening but I also think it always has. Every war starts out if someone's need to show power. Even the world wars.

But then I think the point of thanking the veterans of today, as well as WWII is that those people (including you) signed up by choice. They know at any time they may be ordered to do something that puts their lives on the line, willing to give up their lives, yes, even if it's a cause they don't believe in. That makes me actually more thankful that there are still
people willing to do that for our country. They don't get to choose who places them where or why. Someone has to do this though. If they didn't there would be a draft and then you'd have a lot of unwilling people forced. I think that makes me want to thank them more for sacrificing possibly their lives by choice. And you can say they get degrees, money and other things that are there real reasons, but the fact is it was still a choice. A choice I wasn't willing to make so I'm thankful there are people who do.

I know you must have your personal reasons for feeling how you do. And it's your right. But I think thanking the people who put their lives on the line for us is what it's about. I feel that way with any jobs like this. Police, fire, etc. They all do these things because they want to. And we're lucky they do.
