We Will Never Forget Our Veterans!
Veterans Day Tribute
Wild Thing's comment........
I love when we go out and often run into someone we have never met that is a Veteran. Where we live here in Sarasota there are many Vetrans since so many come here to retire. A couple of days ago a couple of tables over from us a man was sitting with his wife and he was wearing a baseball cap with WW11 on it and it gave me a chance to just stop by the table and thank him.
And yesterday it happened again, the man yesterday had a t-shirt on for the Marine Corps. The shirt said, "one shot one kill no remorse." I loved it and it was especially neat because I have a dog tag on my key chain that says exactly the same thing. I showed it to him and thanked him and we bought his lunch. He said he had been a Marine for 239 years and loved it.
What an honor it is to meet these Veterans, a special moment in a person's life to be able to thank them.
Thank you Veterans!!!!!!
....Thank you Mark for sending this to me.

Chrissie, I too, have seen our quiet veterans wearing their USA service covers. I believe it is a wonderful sign of both: *the fight* continues, and *the silent majority*. I guess I WANT to believe that! We will definitely be buying hats for our Navy guy!
