Thank you to those who served before, beside, and after me. I think of you all every day.

Thank you for keeping the faith, brothers and sisters...even as mine wavered.
Have a blessed Veterans Day!
Having waited tables before, I go to these generous establishments and give the food price as the tip. Thus we pay it forward

Thank you to my fellow veterans past and present.
I especially thank the members of the SF community here who tolerate those of us who are/were not SF on this forum.
My respect and admiration for you is immense. God bless you all and God bless the USA.

Happy Veteran's Day, and a sincere thank you to those past, present, and future servicemen from every branch, especially those at the tip of the spear.
If you're CONUS, enjoy those deals on chow, and if you're one of those laying it on the line this year, stay safe, and I raise my glass. God bless you all.

I am honored to have had the privilege to serve alongside you, to have fought with you, and to be in your company. I am a better person today because of you and I will be forever in your debt. God bless you one and all! [Salute]

Thank you, all
I'm a better husband, father, son, brother and soldier because of you. I'm thankful just to be a small part of it all and will give 110% for as long as I possibly can because of you. These photos were taken from a breakfast/Veterans day program given at the school this morning. It was a humbling experience to be around so many who have gone before me. These little kids read excerpts of letters from soldiers from years past who were deployed. They recited the names of their family members and their respective units, as well as sang songs and read poems.
Hope y'all are doing well - have a blessed Veterans Day!

Judging from the "hands in pockets" pose of the kid stage left, I'd say future SFer.
