Veteran’s Day
Veteran’s Day
Being a Proud Veteran. I always reflect on the thousands who never came back home and the thousands that came home horribly scarred for life.
What really bothers me is our present ruling government. They all sat by and watched in real time our people being slaughter in Benghazi. Then when Hillary Clinton our Secretary of State was called in front of the senate “What difference at this point does it make?” Clinton said angrily.
because they are already dead and people don't matter to them
I feel sorry for anybody presently in the military serving under these horrid unpatriotic people.

I served under 4 presidents. The last two Ronald Regan and Bush Sr. made you proud to be an American.
Regan didn't put up with BS and dug us out of the hole that Jimmy Carter created.
Bush Sr. let his generals do the planning. I was scared before Desert Storm facing something like the 4th largest army in the world. It was all over in days.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE! Must be nice to hear that you're appreciated.
Today vets get 10% discount at Lowes and Home Depot. Free meal at Golden Corral. Free bread sticks at Little Caesars Pizza. Free seats at pro sporting events, etc.
Folks stop and applaud when service men/women walk through an airport in uniform. Simply being in any of the uniformed armed services qualifies as hero status no matter that not everyone served in a combat zone or was ever in harm's way.
I got spat on and called BABY KILLER! Not in San Francisco or Chicago airports, but my own home town.
What has changed from 1971 'till now? I was also a volunteer. Do a handful of Al-Qaeda suicide bombers strike more fear in the general populous than the whole might of Soviet Russia did?

I'm glad that you survived and I hope that there's still room for grateful citizens to say "Welcome Home, Brother and Thank You, for your sacrifices."
Our club was in a Veteran's Day parade earlier today in a small northern Colorado town and I was priviledged to share the fun with an 85 year old Army Sergeant who served in the Pacific Theater. It was moving to see the joy in his eyes as we paraded slowly down the street and waving to all the smiles, hello's and Thank You's from a grateful crowd. A memory for both of us, not soon forgotten.
Ooh-rah.

Thank you to all those that have, are now and will serve. Thank you equally to those who did not serve for your dedicated support. It really does mean a lot!!!

Still serving, I am currently deployed to Afghanistan till June. I read the forum everyday when I get time. It is my stress reliever. Thanks all for the posts
Cant wait to get home, I'm planning on getting a new top and maybe new sweet thunder Stainless side pipes, I wish I could hear how they sound, I've looked on YouTube but no luck, so if anyone out there on the CF has sweet thunder send me a sound bite or video clip. Thanks
