Not only a thanks to the Veterans, but also a thank you to the spouses and children who stood by their vets in all the tours of duty. We owe all of you so much.

Well said, Sgt Mac. From Retired CPO I salute you. Let us just hope that when they have the ceremony at the Vets memorial in the Villages, that the majority of the people there will rise and place their hand over their hearts when the National Anthem is played or the flag passes. I attended a couple of years ago and left in disgust when the onlookers just kept talking and never got out of their plush chairs. It felt like a replay of my return from Vietnam. No matter what the idiots do, let us keep our pride in ourselves, our country, and our Mates who died, or were seriously injured, in service to this country.

Civilian salute to all the troops - past and present.

[Sgt Mac]

Stand tall today Keep your heads up high and Smile
Keep an eye on the Red White and Blue
We are walking with You
and Thank You for all that you do

Found this to be quiet moving on this special day for all Veterans and their families.

Keep it moving, even if you've seen it before...

It is the VETERAN , not the preacher,
who has given us freedom of religion.
It is the VETERAN , not the reporter,
who has given us freedom of the press.
It is the VETERAN , not the poet,
who has given us freedom of speech.
It is the VETERAN , not the campus organizer,
who has given us freedom to assemble.
It is the VETERAN, not the lawyer,
who has given us the right to a fair trial.
It is the VETERAN , not the politician,
who has given us the right to vote.
It is the VETERAN
who salutes the Flag...
It is the VETERAN
who serves under the Flag,

ETERNAL REST GRANT THEM O LORD, AND LET PERPETUAL LIGHT SHINE UPON THEM.

VETERANS KNOW THAT THE OATH OF ALLEGIANCE HAS NO EXPIRATION DATE.

God Bless them all!!!

God Bless America
