rollinac Posted November 11, 2011 Report Posted November 11, 2011 He's one of many in this country but meeting the man in person makes you re-evaluate your priorities.

Chester86 Posted November 11, 2011 Report Posted November 11, 2011 We live in the greatest country in the world because of the sacrifices of our veterans. I am proud to have served in the USAF, and in Desert Storm. As the father of three boys, my hope and prayer is they will live in a free society and never have to go through a major war. Thank you to all that have served, and God bless the United States of America.
invictus Posted November 11, 2011 Report Posted November 11, 2011 I appreciate and thank all of the Veterans and their families who sacrifice to do what their country asks them to do. My dad is a Vietnam vet and my husband is an Operation Iraqi Freedom vet.
