<S> to all those serving or have served for their countries, regardless what country that may be, or what war.

A Veteran is someone, who at one point in their life, wrote a blank check payable to the United States of America for an amount up to, and including, their life. That is beyond honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer remember that fact. Support the Troops!

   To all the Vets

  All veterens, who at one point in their lives wrote a blank check up to and including their lives for our freedom

The armistice that ended World War I took effect at the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month in 1918. The next day was declared Armistice Day and later became known as Veterans Day, in honor of veterans of America for their patriotism, love of country and willingness to serve and sacrifice for the common good.

I thank you and    you!

In no way disrespecting our American cousins, and the service they did

Remembrance Day (also known as Poppy Day, Armistice Day or Veterans Day) is a memorial day observed in Commonwealth countries to remember the sacrifices of members of the armed forces and civilians in times of war, specifically since the First World War. This day, or alternative dates, are also recognised as special days for war remembrances in many non-Commonwealth countries.The day was specifically dedicated by King George V, on 7 November 1919, to the observance of members of the armed forces who were killed during World War I.

In Holliston, Massachusetts, right above my home town, every year volunteers post names of soldiers that have fallen in Iraq and Afghanistan on every pole on all 3 main streets in town. If you live nearby, these roads are route 16 and route 126 through the town and i have a feeling more will be up soon if you want to read the names... <S>

                                                                        Author: Earl Davis
Every decision made is the result of a choice, sometimes mine, sometimes yours. It was my choice to join. It was your choice what I was to be. God did not make the Warrior, man did. In the life we live, the Warrior is a necessity. It is the responsibility of the Warrior to protect and defend the freedom of others, no matter how high the cost. The color of freedom is red.
Grieve the Warrior, You.


Once a Warrior is made, there is no going back. He is forever changed. It is up to you to honor and respect the Warrior in his transformations. A Warrior has wisdom you will never know, let alone understand. Among Indian tribes of old, only a Warrior could become Chief, and only a Chief could advance to Sage.
Grieve the Warrior, You.

There is a Wall filled with bygone heroes, honored and respected. A virtual Wall exists with four times the names, fallen Warriors that shouldn't be, but driven there by dishonor and disrespect. There are many, many more who are alive, but dead at the same time. You have chosen to put it all behind you. It is past now, so let us forget it, like it never happened. Warriors can't put it down, can't forget because it is still happening to their minds.
Grieve the Warrior, You.

Whatever you think of them, or not think of them, doesn't change a thing. You have made them Warriors and Warrior forever they will be. You see I am a Warrior. No one ever says, "I was" or "I will be", but "I am." I am the price of your freedom. Your world exists because of mine, and mine exist because of yours. Your visions are many and varied, of bright and beautiful things to come. The visions of a Warrior are contained in one _____ A thousand-yard stare.
Never mind, the Warrior will grieve You.

I salute to the veterans currently not with their families, serving to protect our nation overseas in Afghanistan.
 I know many of my brothers have gave the ultimate sacrifice over there and it kills every time to look at the obituary's and see another fallen marine because we don't see the sane with the people over there.

<S> to those guys and happy 235th birthday Marines
