OT-Happy Veteran's Day Everyone! - Gourmet_Mom - 11-11-2009
With all that has happened in the past few days, I felt that today’s holiday was extra special.
While I’m excited that I get to sleep in and cook all day, I can’t help but feel a little more patriotic today. So in the spirit of our great country, I would like to salute our veterans today.
Happy Veteran’s Day everyone...especially to any members who have served or are serving our country. Stand up and take a bow if you will.
I hope this is not going to be frowned upon. I just felt compelled to post a tribute.

I agree, Daph. I am truly thankful for the men and women who fight and make the ultimate sacrifice so we can live free. Truly they are heroes!

Indeed. Three cheers for those who dedicate a part or all of their lives to defending America's lives and liberty.

There's a saying, "If you can read this freely, thank a veteran". How true.

Because of my Dad, I raise my glass every year! Plus, we're going to Pearl Harbor today, if it's not too crowded - if so we'll go tomorrow. Will be very emotional I'm sure.

We did the Navy tour some years ago--very well done--there is one of our local boys down there, still on the Arizona. Very emotional.
