Thanks Vets, I salute you
Myself I come here this morning as a very happy old Vet. I see this traitorous regime in the decline grasping at any and all straws to try to stay in power but one Big Man came forth earlier this past week to remind us that we are a nation of laws and this criminal behavior foisted upon us by the bush/cheney cabal will not be tolerated much longer. Everyone stand tall and stand proud cause we will win this one, I promise.

3. Yes a big Salute to all
Plus, personally I hold the folks who were brave enough to oppose the war of my days in the highest regards for if not for them many more young men and women would not have made the trip home as did. Kind of a reverse of blood on their hands so to say

Lets have a great day all

2. I also thank all that have served, whether willingly or not!
You answered the call, whether or not you agreed with that particular
war or policy, and that takes courage no matter how you look at it.
War sucks but regardless, we still need to protect our country and you did.

4. Thanks, I'm sure many were just like me going in
and I bet many were just like me coming out, knowing first hand just how wrong war is. All these years later and I'm still pissed about being lied into that war and you know what I bet many years from now there will be many Vets feeling that same way about being lied into this war too. with the warmongers its always stop 'em over there before they get over here

Edited on Mon Nov-12-07 08:53 AM by EV_Ares
I thank all my fellow veterans of yesterday, today and tomorrow for their service and standing up for all those things to sustain this country in the proud tradition our forefathers intended. We may stray in times but I think and hope that we will always have courageous leaders to take us back to where we belong.

Happy Veterans Day to all of you.

7. Thanks
I add my thanks.

My hope is that we can end the horror of 200,000 homeless vets who sleep on America's streets each night.

Shame on all the Repugs who talk about supporting our troops.
