Have you seen the Veteran's Day tribute at the Bridgeport at Lake Sumter Landing gate? There are banners for each of the branches of the military as well as a POW/MIA banner. It is quite moving.

I don't know who is responsible for it, but whoever it is, Thank You!

And thank you to all of our Veterans!

Thank you to all Military, active and retired for protecting our freedoms and way of life.

I thank all of you with children and grandchildren in the military and know you are both proud and protective of their dear lives.

I salute my dad and uncles and cousins who served.

Thank you all from my heart for your courage and committment.

A very big thank you for my late Uncle Joe who was a WW2 veteran and all other veterans.

He served on the USS Essex and saw battle in all islands of the Phillipines. He was off the cast of Japan when the a-bomb was detonated.

This was a special day for him as he enjoyed putting flowers on all the graves.

RIP - Uncle Joe, a true hero and family man who made the USA safe for us.

It always amazes me when some bull crap complaining thread can get 100 replies but the deserving threads like this one gets 5 responses????? What gives? These are/were the guys that put their lives on the line for our freedom.
They deserve better.

Let's hear it for our Military!

I will be wearing my Dog Tags tonight. Just one day a year but It reminds me of those still serving what a sacrifice they do for us.

I am proud to salute all service men and women.

My husband and I are both Army Veterans and it makes us happy to hear of these type tributes, especially in our soon-to-be hometown.

We just buried my brother on Friday - a Veteran of the Korean War. The Flag was presented to his widow, and there wasn't a dry eye in the house when the bugler played Taps.
I thank him for his service to his country, his family, and his God......and all the other Veterans and active Military.
