I will honor those who have served our country or are still serving, anywhere at any time.

 I will thank the veterans I see out and about. 

 I will remember those who did not come back from serving overseas.

 I will remember those who died while serving in the USA.

 They all have stepped up to help, because they wanted to serve our country and help others.

Thank You for this post. This is the first Veteran's Day for me without my dad. He passed away at the age of 82 in December. He served in the US Army Reserves from 1961-67. He did not see theater (Vietnam) but was trained and ready for battle at any time.

I honor all veterans and thank them from the bottom of my heart. God bless them all, yesterday, today, and tomorrow.

Thank You Veterans

My Dad was a US Army war veteran, injured and was awarded the Purple Heart. He suffered the invisible wounds of war too. He passed away three years ago and I miss him.

I always think of my son and all his friends who died in war. I knew 3 of his friends who died.

My son has been deployed 5 times. He lost 12 friends and 1 of his own soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan. He has carried friends' body parts to helicopters. He's seen more carnage than we can ever see watching news.

My son was seriously injured twice.  One was from a roadside bomb and the other was when jumping out of an airplane.  

My son is now fairly high ranking officer and is getting close to retirement. He has loved his career but it's taken a toll on him, his wife, his kids, me.

We have three veterans in our family. Daddy was a WW2 vet (front row artillery gunner.

Hubbs is a Vietnam Era  vet (Air Force). And Sonny Boy served in the Air Force during the eighties. 
My Daddy served in Eastern Europe and NEVER talked about the war,NEVER. Told a few stories about being in Great  Britain (He was an MP there) but that is all. 

I am proud and thankful for their service. Daddy also served on the Draft Board during the Vietnam War.

@CalminHeart Please thank your son for me and give him a hug from a QVC friend. The sacrifices that he and his family have made do not go unnoticed or unappreciated.

Thanks to all the men and women who served without regard for their own safety to protect us and our freedom. My dad was a Sgt. in the Army Air Corp. in the Asiatic Pacific Theater and was a radio mechanic.
