Gentlemen, I respect and appreciate the thoughts you have shared.
QRQ 30, indeed. I can say I do continue to thank Veterans from all wars past and present when I meet them, I consider it a personal honor and privilege.
I remember the first time I gave my father a card on Veteran's Day (he fought in the Korean War, combat engineer). He still doesn't talk about it much except to say he was proud to serve. He also expressed some of the same thoughts that have been mentioned here...he did it because it was his duty and he did it for his Brothers.
