No biggie, honest, just having a crappy kind of day is all.
Lots of hugs and all that other mushy stuff being sent your way. :hippie:

[Adam Blanchard]

I appreciate them but really have no snazzy words or smart arse comments, just a few moments of silence and fond wishes to those who have, do, and will serve to protect our freedom.

[Gary Blanchard]

I agree with Adam.My sincere thanks to all who have served.

[Taurus]

I also appreciate all who serve; they're on all call 24/7 to defend and protect us and our freedoms. I have a son who just retired from the Army, after getting back from his second tour in Iraq; my son-in-law is over there now. Thanks for posting this.

sorry you having a bad day Grae.:group_hug Hope you feel better soon.

It's great to be thankful for the veterans but don't forget to thank those you know directly.:D

[PEACE FROG]

I was "in" the same period as you Grae. Sorry that I didn't notice your post yesterday, and I'm sorry you are not feeling well. :(:group_hug

[Hippie Staff]

I missed your post too.

Living in a military town, we know many veterans from a span of wars. We honor their service for defense and humanitarian efforts.

On a random note, I miss seeing the Navy guys walk down the streets here in those humongous white bell bottoms. Those were some serious pants. The Navy has trimmed down the cut - a shame.

Hey Graeh,
I was away yesterday too. Thanks for the incredible post. Hope you are feeling better as another of my perjudices, of which I am thoroughly ashamed, falls. Wouldn't have expected the post or the responses from a bastion of antidisestablishmentarianism. Just had to have the fun of spelling that. Come to think of it would that apply to my ilk or yours? :confused: "anti"-against. "dis"-against. "establishmentarian"-one who stands for the establishment i.e. "the man". "ism"-a belief. Hmmm...I think that's me!?!?

The point is 60s hippies were the ones who called my brother a babykiller and spit on the boys coming home in spite of thier supposedly peace philosophy. Glad you guys have dropped that.

[PEACE FROG]

I am a veteran.

[LIBRA]

I wasnt even born yet. So im glad your glad we "dropped" that. :(

Sometimes it's just better to not say anything at all and silently shake ones head.
Much love and respect coming your way sweet lady. :hippie:

[LIBRA]

I know. I think or maybe Im hoping that kind of refrain will come with age :D Believe it or not, I try.

Much love to you too :hb:

[Crochety Carpenter]

Froggy,
Thanks so much for your service.:hb:

May all fallen veterans find peace, and may no more die needlessly.

[Savon]

I have the upmost respect for everyone in or retired from the service. my stepp rother is a marine pilot and will be doing his second tour soon. hope no one here thinks ill of me for being so late in my post. Life has been a little crazy lately.:group_hug

[hedgewitch]

I've been away too....
But I spent a few moments in silence remembering those that have fallen and to give hope and light to us who can still make a difference in everything we say and do.
