Veterans Day

Thanks to all who have remembered us Veterans! All it takes is a simple thank you from the civilian population to make this job that we do an honor. Again, thanks for taking the time to remember us on our day.

 

As Nana said, "thank you" just doesn't seem adequate. I love you guys and gals!

 

I appreciate all that fought and died for our country so we can live in a wonderful place. Even the vets that served during non-wartime have played a valuable role in our countries safety. Coming from a military family and serving myself, this is a special day. My father is buried in Arlington Cemetary, a rock throw from the tomb of the unknown soldier. I'll be watching the ceremony on TV today.

As for Applebee's, you have to show a military ID. The only vets that carry military ID's are retiree's and active duty. But their effort is appreciated as some can enjoy a free meal.

Okay, thanks. Posted same time. I have a photo in uniform if they can recognize me, lol. It's 30 years old. I know where I'm going for lunch! I love Applebee's.
