Salute to my dad, Charles, who served in the Pacific with the Navy in World War II. He also saw action in Okinawa & Saipan.

CORRECTION: My wife saw this & wanted me to point out that she, too, IS a veteran-1974-77- herself, as well as working most of her profesional life in/for the VA or related agencies.
 
Thanks to all who served and all who are serving.

Same goes from me.
Happy Veterans Day to all those past and present in the US Armed Forces.
I served in the US Air Force from 1971 until 1975. And I would do it again in a HEARTBEAT!!

Happy Veteran's Day and thank you for all you've done to serve our country!

They Did Their Share


On Veteran’s Day we honor
Soldiers who protect our nation.
For their service as our warriors,
They deserve our admiration.


Some of them were drafted;
Some were volunteers;
For some it was just yesterday;
For some it’s been many years;


In the jungle or the desert,
On land or on the sea,
They did whatever was assigned
To produce a victory.


Some came back; some didn’t.
They defended us everywhere.
Some saw combat; some rode a desk;
All of them did their share.


No matter what the duty,
For low pay and little glory,
These soldiers gave up normal lives,
For duties mundane and gory.


Let every veteran be honored;
Don’t let politics get in the way.
Without them, freedom would have died;
What they did, we can’t repay.


We owe so much to them,
Who kept us safe from terror,
So when we see a uniform,
Let’s say "thank you" to every wearer.
