Thank You to ALL Who Serve!
« on: November 11, 2011, 04:48:48 am »
World War I was formally ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918 with the German signing of the Armistice.

In 1921, Congress passed legislation honoring veterans every November 11. In 1926, it was changed to Armistice Day and then in 1954, President Eisenhower changed it to Veteran's Day.

I salute my son for his service in the Army, my daughter for her service in the National Guard and my daughter-in-law for her service in The Reserve.

I also honor those who have given their all for the freedoms we enjoy.

Thank you for all you have done!

I'm with you Janet.  I salute my husband who served in Viet Nam and my son who served in Irag and my grandson who served in Iraq and is scheduled for Afghanistan in May, 2012 - I hope they end it before he goes.  I've had enough war in my time!

I salute all the men who served our wonderful country.  We owe them so much.  My father fought in WW II, my brother retired from the Navy and he was in Vet Nane when the war over there ended.  My grandson has been to Iraq 2 times and is suppose to go again to another country.  I had another grandson that just got out of the Navy.  We need to honor all these me that have served us so well.  This country would not be free if not for the dedication.  May God bless each of them.

Although I have not served in the military, I have a first cousin who I grew up with and is like a brother to me, we are also the same age which is why I guess we were so close, who has served two terms. One in Afganistan and one in Iraq. I stay tore up about his safety. I would like to thank him and every single person who has served. Without them we would not have our lifestyle that we enjoy. Things like getting earning $ from Fusion Cash!!! So, THANKS TO ALL!!!

The list of people who have served in the military is such a long list I will not bore you with it or wear my fingers out typing all the names and branches of the military that have been served.  Must be something like a family tradition.  But in speaking for our family I thank you for the warm wishes and state without a doubt if called upon again we would not hesitate to take up our arms to defend this country once again.  So yes thanks to all the veterans past, present, and future.
