Awesome! I salute each and every member of our Armed Services both past and present, ESPECIALLY thoser who made the ultimate sacrifice to lay down their lives for their country....and their countrymen.

Isn't it wonderful that our military are now "in" again and that they have a Commander in Chief of whom they can be proud?

God bless each one. Been praying today especially for those in harm's way right now - for our country. How much we owe them - and all who have served - we cannot ever repay.

You all make us proud. Thank you to all the Veterans.

I know - I am, too. Thanks, Bunny. I know how much the men and women of the armed forces mean to you, and I'm happy this came together so well. There are FReepers and photos I wanted to hear from and didn't get, but this is for them, too. I love you all even if your photo is not here!

Thanks to all of you for your dedication and service...My Dad, who is a Colonel, is watching down upon us all and really likes what he's seeing...I miss him lots!

[Billie]

Thanks, Louie - you can still be the Canteen's poster boy. :^)

YO, Billie!

Why didn't you paste Mel Gibson's face over mine as I instructed? Hmmmmm???

And I thought I ordered a cobra rather than that old dumpy UH1B!

Oh well, thanks anyway. (reality sucks!)

Smooches!

[Billie]

Phil, dear - I thought that was Mel's face on that guy. You mean that's YOU?!

[IronJack]

Absolutely wonderful tribute!!!! And all it took is the names of the men and women who are the heart and soul of America.

Thank you. Thank you. And thank you again.

And there are so many more whose names aren't here but whose memories are. We've all known at least one veteran, and our lives are richer for the claim. Think of the pride a vet must feel knowing that wherever the United States of America is today, he helped carry the load at least a little part of that distance.

No salute big enough. But here's trying ...

Salute!!!

'Diver Dave' won't like hearing this.

Who cares! LOL

[LBGA]

Thanks so much for this tribute, and for inlcuding my son. He is really inspired by the tradition of our military and the ones that went before him.

[Phil V.]

OK!
