vet appreciation thread

Thanks for your service past and present. If you're active duty be safe

many thanks to the vets of past and present.

Thanks to every vet out there! As black said, off duty or on!! There is a special Vet close to my heart, I love you very much Scott!

A very special thanks to all the Vets!

The freedoms we have in this country are a result of everything you do or have done in the past. Thank you very much!

Thank you to all my fellow friends and Vets past, present, and all I have never had the pleasure of meeting!

Some douche showed up at the ceremony in Toronto to protest needless to say they were helped on their way. Vets Thanks for your service.

As a veteran, I will step in here and say on behalf of all the others, thank you for taking the time to think of us. For virtually all of us, no thanks is necessary. We did what we felt we needed to do. It was as natural a choice as any for a lot of us and it is actually a bit strange sometimes to be thanked for your service. I guess it is hard to explain, but I am sure it must be the same for other branches......for us it was never about what we did, it was about who we were and who we continue to be. I was a boy....then I became a United States Marine, and that is what I will always be....so to be thanked every year for just being me is surreal. It is very appreciated though.

Sorry for the rambling....thanks to all for your words and support, and remember to support our troops every single day.

My wife Jessica is a vet and I have many in my family. I have enjoyed my day with her as the state of Colorado decided to give her the day off! YAY!! We just found out that she is pregnant so we are super excited! Thanks so much to all the Vets for deciding to be that person! Taking on that life is not for everyone and getting into the experiences that those men and women have takes more courage than many people realize so for the courage THANKS!
Ryno Out!
