Medal Of Honor
Please remember to thank our veterans today on this national holiday. Heck, even if you do not live in the US, thank your Veterans in your respective nation for their service. Even most never receive the highest military honor granted, they and their families have sacrificed in many ways to defend their nation from harm. To all Veterans out there, “Thank You” from a fellow vet.

Excellent message. It is because of our WWII veterans that most of us today never experience the horror of war… especially in our home country. Ted
