Defination

[KABarash]

Defination:
A Veteran -- whether active duty, discharged, retired, or reserve -- is someone who, at one point in his/her life, wrote a blank check made payable to ‘The United States of America’ for an amount of ‘up to, and including his life.’ That is honor.”

Thank you

I didn't intend this thread to bring up any political or for that matter moral issues and/or arguments.
Please It's intention is for us to remember....... And to remember those who came before us whether they served or not, because it is they who taught us, led us, showed us right and wrong.
Today, I remember my father, a veteran. My Grandfather, a veteran. My Daughter, a veteran. My Son-in-law, a veterian. My son who is currently serving.
BUT mostly I think of those who paid the ultimate price for the freedom we have to speak, to dissigree, to post threads like this.
I remember those by my side one fateful day many years ago, who died , fighting for their lives, and the lives of those of whom they were with. AND I thank them for it is for them I am here today to remember.
