Big props to the men and women who protect our country and it's freedoms.
Too bad there now fighting a war that they really shouldn't be.
I hope they all come home soon.

Thanks, and thanks to all veterans, active duty folks, reservists, and national guard currently doing their duty for the nation.
Also, I forgot do my annual USMC Birthday thread yesterday. *drops and gives the Corps 20*
Happy 230th to the United States Marine Corps! Semper Fi, devil dogs!

You give props to all of them. They enlist to fight for our freedom - they don't get to pick the wars.

A good friend of mine who was a paratrooper in Afghanistan is leaving again Tuesday. He's headed to Germany for a couple months, then on to Iraq.
I'm hanging out with him as much as possible before he leaves, and I sure as hell hope he makes it home the same as when he left. Or as close to it as possible.

Can you make a single post without saying something retarded? No one's said that they're fighting for our freedom, dumbfuck.

No one knows exactly how many of America's World War I veterans will celebrate Veterans Day, which marks the armistice of November 11, 1918, that ended what then was considered the Great War. An estimated 2 million Americans served in Europe after the U.S. entered the war in 1917.
Today, the Veterans Affairs Department lists just eight veterans as receiving disability benefits or pension compensation from service in World War I. It says a few dozen other veterans of the war probably are alive, too, but the government does not keep a comprehensive list.
