photo and unapologetic sentiments by Buck Sargent
You cannot escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today.
-Abraham Lincoln
On this Veterans Day I'd like to take this opportunity to offer thanks to the countless Americans who came before us; who wore the uniform, charged a hill, walked a post, flew a sortie, trained a recruit or bandaged a wound.
My generation is honored to follow where your boots once tread.

If you've just read this in English, thank a veteran.
In French, thank an American.
In Japanese, Polish, Korean, Arabic, German, Dutch, Dari, Italian, Hungarian, Spanish, Pashto, Czech...
I think you get the point.

ReplyDeleteI'm late, but my thanks to our Veterans is no less heartfelt. Thank you all, we owe you so very much.
ReplyDeleteWell said!
ReplyDeleteWe are grateful to all of you!
Thank you!
As a thirty year soldier (now retired) this is an off handed sentiment shared by many of your commrades in arms. I have a son in Iraq stationed in the same area I was for two tours and his exact exclaimation was just that when he discovered that he was being sent over with the 3-187, Raakasans, 101st Airborne (AA)and is a very pround Infantryman! Go get 'em!
