    Military Veterans of the HAMB.....

    I know this is a day early, but I wanted to send this before November 11th so all the HAMB Veterans see it before Veteran's Day.

    Thank you for giving me and my fellow Americans the freedom we enjoy everyday. Without your sacrifices we wouldn't have the greatest country in the world !!

    And if you are reading this and aren't a Veteran but have a father, mother, son, daughter, any relative, friend, neighbor, etc. remember to thank them. ( While your at it thank them for me too !! )

    Hugs and hand shakes to you all and from the bottom of my heart " THANK YOU "

    Sincerely,

    Kim

    This veteran would like to remind everyone not to forget other countries represented on this site such as Canada, England, Australia and I'm sure more, that also have Veterans/Remembrance Day on 11/11.

    As we (veterans) get older, it really does seem somehow more important to hear folks voice appreciation but not necessarily for those of us who made it home, rather to those who will forever be 19 or 20 years old.
    And, if you know any WWII vets please take time to talk with them as well as family members of the fallen.

    I'd do it again in a New York second.

    Good on you Kutlass for bringing it up. I was watching a show on the Medal of Honor last night. I actually started weeping towards the end. We ask too much of our guys and gals, and yet they give it. Anyhoo, Im with everybody else. Thanks. My kids will reap the rewards of your sacrifices.

    Cheers and beers

  20. Thinking about the sacrifice made for us to enjoy the freedoms we have today is humbling. That's what this day is about. I am very thankful.

  23. Well said Doc.

    As usual, I had my one minute's silence today...at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month.

    Thank you to all countrie's service men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice and were cut down in the prime of their lives. Thank you to those who returned and who were never the same again. Thank you to those who endured hardship, suffering, torture, pain, disrespect, those who were neglected and to those who felt forgotten.

    LET THEM KNOW THAT HAVE NOT BEEN FORGOTTEN......

    To those that never came home, never got to marry, never had a family, children or grandchildren, never got to build or enjoy hot rods, never got to make their mark in the world, or never got the chance to do the things we almost take for granted these days....THANK YOU !

    WE WILL REMEMBER THEM.

    You're welcome, though I must say, it scares me a little to see what my country is becoming. Many of our freedoms have been abused so badly, that I sometimes think the very thing we all served to protect may one day destroy us. Freedom, truth and justice, must reside as one, for any to survive.
    sorry for the rant, and thanks to all my fellow Vets

    Thank you to all who gave, for my freedoms
     
  28. Wow! I could have written this post exactly other than a different in-law. 7 years ago I went to a Veterans Day breakfast and it was the first time that someone thanked me for my service. Really pathetic how a bunch of kids became the country's scapegoats. And not just Americans I've also come to understand how Aussie vets were treated even worse. I'll be meeting with a good friend tomorrow for pie and we'll do as always on this day, remember........

    No hard feelings anymore just have trouble understanding the whole mess.
     
  29. I served with pride in the Storm 92-95 USN H3-Aircrew, you and all the free are welcome.

    Remember freedom is never free, some pay with their lives.

    Although i'm not a Veteran (yet) i appreciate the well wishes and my heart goes out to all my brothers and sisters that paid for our freedom with their lives. i've been in OIF, OEF... (the list goes on) and spent too many damn nights on the sea, 2 long ass cruises and just lost my wife this last time....but i'm still plugging away in the navy and i'll be reenlisting for the second time come february. thanks,
