2019 Veterans Day Salute

[MDO]

On Veteran's Day 2019, let's please remember that the freedoms we have here in our great country were never free, but payed for by all who served & those still serving.

It takes a special person to make this sacrifice & less than 1% of our citizens do.

Thank you to all who have made this tough decision to serve.

 

[ol' school]

Thank you to all who have served and a thank you to all who are presently serving. Also a special thank you to the families of each service person. Your sacrifice is greatly appreciated!

 

[MDO]

I am going to attend a Veteran's Day ceremony at my Grandaughters elementary school at 7:30 am.

I hope they have coffee.:Coffee:

Hey All, It's another GREAT day in America and wishing all the vets who served and are serving this GREAT NATION.

Being a Nam vet I'm so glad our brave men and women don't and didn't have to through the things we did when we returned from Nam.

God Bless all and have a great veterans day. Hhardrock.

As a Vet ... I say thank you.

As an American .. I would like to offer my thanks to all that served and especially all that gave their last ounce of devotion (Stole that from Abe Lincoln, but it's so fitting).

​

I took the oath in March, 1970, at the age of 17. Turned 19 in the Nam. Today I reflect on all my friends, cousins, and my BILs. Even though some didn't make that flight home, most did. Now, because of Agent Orange I have one friend and one cousin left who served.

It took our country about 40 years to start recognizing our sacrifices and suffering. I don't care. I am proud that I did what I did and I am even more proud of my brothers who were beside me.

I could not believe there was over 100 Veterans at the elementary school this morning at 7:30am & the kids sung 3 songs after we all did the pledge of allegiance. Very cool & they had great coffee!

To all the brave that serve and have served this country, God Bless you.

We generally find ourselves in the Baldwin County area of Alabama for Veterans day each year. This whole gulf coast area of Alabama/Florida is very patrotic.

At Applebees the waitress gave me a free beer with a different type of coaster. I turned the coaster over and there was a handwritten message from a young lady named Brie. She was thanking Vets for their service.

I asked the waitress about the free beer and coaster. She said prior to yesterday and restaurant sold coasters to customers for $2.00 so that they could be passed out to Veterans. The reverse of the coaster read "Buy A Vet A Bud Light" (Folds Of Honor organization).

Very cool! They do that in St. Louis also. I have been going to the same Applebees for 6 years & always enjoy their Veterans day meal. Around noon, there was 20 Vets in there enjoying the hospitality. This year, I left my beer for the next guy. Before lunch, I always stop at Hair Saloon for Men for a nice cup of coffee & cut.
