All Gave some, Some gave all

Veterans day

Published on November 11, 2008 By Moderateman In History

Today is Veterans day, today is but one day when we pay homage to our veterans, I pay homage to those that came before me and those that came after me.

I pay respect to those that did not come home, those that came home part way, those that came home with pieces of them not there anymore.

I pay and pray for those that live under bridges and are broken mentally because of what they did or saw.

The way America treats her veterans is disgraceful! America should be ashamed of herself for such treatment of brave men and now women that put their lives on the line to keep America free, so lemon-heads can blather on about how evil and terrible America is with no fear of reprisal.

G-D bless you and keep all of you serving now; safe and free from harm.

Other than sensationalized media, I've never seen or heard anyone treat vets or servicemen in any disrespectful way. You should get out more. I've had people treat me with everything ranging from mild distain to outright violence when they learn I served in the military. Hell, I served during the Cold War, not an outright shooting war (although we did see some action). I can't even imagine how it was for the Viet Nam vets if we got treated that way. I recently had several people in a vehicle arrested on charges of "domestic terrorism" for trying to cause me to wreck my truck. My crime? Hauling a military vehicle. Those Texas cops don't screw around

That's today, I wish Karma could have been of age in the mid late 60's to the early 70's and saw how returning Vietnam vet were treated.

I know I'm a little late, responding here. Would've responded last night, but I was too busy taking the Vets in my life out to a much deserved treat.A big thank you every vet who comes back so that we can say that "Thank you!" A prayer of sympathy, hope and understanding for the families of those vets who made the ultimate sacrifice.My family has a tradition of military service going back to the Civil War. At least one member of the family has served in every war fought during that time. And at least one family member is an active, volunteer member of the military during those times. I'm not saying this to boast (far from it). It's just that days like Veteran's Day and Memorial Day both hit very close to home for my family and me.

You are truly one of the good people on the Planet, just this one good deed heightens you in my estimation, which is already high.
