A very good reason to shop at Hy-Vee.

Amen.

Thank you and all the FReeper Vets for your service and sacrifice.

We are truly better for your service. God bless you all.

Knowing that the bulk of my service involved programming and watching television and complaining when the air conditioning went out for preventive maintenance, I wondered if I even belonged in the same room as some of these folks.

Without people like this, the others would not be able to perform their service. It's just as important to program as it is to fire a weapon.

Our local high school has a veterans breakfast every Veteran’s Day, along with a program afterward to honor all local veterans, living or deceased. High school students are encouraged to attend (especially with their veteran relatives), and the meal and program is free.

I didn’t attend this morning because it was at the same time as our weekly Kiwanis meeting, and I’m on this month’s breakfast committee. But at least 1/3 of our usual member count was absent; most, I’m sure attending the high school event. It’s a nice thing they do...

Thank you for your service sir!

My company had a moment of silence at 11 am this morning at the flag pole in front of the building... good stuff!

I called my friend (a Iraq war vet) a little while ago... I always call him on Vetran's Day. I caught him off guard as I always do... and thanked him. He was being taken out to lunch by his girl friend so he had other "things" on his mind... but was happy I took a few minutes out of my day to give him a ring :-)

Can’t thank you guys enough for the freedoms we all take advantage of. Home of the free because of the brave.

Proud of my dad!
