I know I missed the designated day to honor veterans... but alas, I'm sure not a single veteran will turn a deaf ear upon my gratitude due to my tardiness. For yesterday, today, and tomorrow, thank you.

God Bless the good men and women who serve our country, at home and abroad.

God Bless those who have made the ultimate sacrifice so that we can be free.

God Bless America, land that I love.

To all those who have so selflessly served and will continue to serve to protect and make safe all that I hold dear, I thank you.

We celebrated Remembrance day here in Australia as well on th 11/11 and at 11am all at my work paused for a minutes silence for those who served in the services, fought for our way of life, for the right to vote and tried to make the world safer.

I am an ex serviceman, my parents served in WW2 and my grandfather in WW1.

Being prompt has never been a virtue of mine. None the less, I'd like to thank PF for recalling this thread. I'd also like to thank Chey for the vivid story she shared. And, my deepest appreciation goes to the men and women who have and are currently serving in the armed forces to preserve what we hold so dear...FREEDOM and DEMOCRACY! Thank You ((((all)))) from the bottom of my heart!

God bless you, PF! The brave men and women that have stood up to defend our country are all heroes and deserving of our honor and respect. God bless them all!
