Awful late in the day but I just wanted to say thank you to all the Vets who are a member of FM. I truly & deeply thank you for your service past & present. You are and will always be honored & remembered in my family.

Thank YOU for your service!!!!!

Thanks LaZyDayZ! I would also like to thank all the Vets out there and also all the active duty people that will be Vets one day! I did my 20 and know the hardships that the American GI has to live with. I never got up here yesterday. I did go and put a brand new flag on dad's grave as it would just not have been right otherwise.

Have a good one and N Joy the Hunt././Jimbo

AMEN!!!! thanks to all our boys (and girls) over there risking their lives just doing what they do. Always remember that only 2 people have ever offered to die for you, jesus, died for us, and our troops offer to die for our freedom!!! thanks again for making the world a better place for my children to grow up!!

I had the honor of hanging out Friday night with a Vietnam vet, his wife, and 2 other couples. It amazed me to hear how much he went through emotionally in the years after he returned - things I cannot even fathom having to deal with. These men and women pay dearly for the freedoms we enjoy - NEVER take your freedom for granted, and next time you see a GI at a restaurant or a gas pump, show your appreciation and take care of their bill, or at least go and thank them directly. I guarantee you, it never gets old or becomes a hassle to them when someone wants to shake their hand in thanks.
