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. Re: OT-Happy Veteran's Day Everyone! - farnfam - 11-11-2009 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! Re: OT-Happy Veteran's Day Everyone! - labradors - 11-11-2009 Indeed. Three cheers for those who dedicate a part or all of their lives to defending America's lives and liberty. Re: OT-Happy Veteran's Day Everyone! - Lorraine - 11-11-2009 There's a saying, "If you can read this freely, thank a veteran". How true.

My SIL is giving a speech today at a Veterans Day gathering, she and my brother were in the Air Force for several years.

Will be very emotional I'm sure.
