Veteran's Day

As cliched as it is I'll just say this once.

To the men and women of the armed forces here and abroad that serve America and her allies at great personal sacrifice:

Thank you.

My own dad served in the 14th Arcav around the Fulda Gap in the late sixties (we lived in Bad Kissington). He never considered the stories of packing up the jeep and dragging the HQ through the mud as glamourous as piloting a helicopter, but his and his unit's mission played a vital role on the edge of the sword that kept the bear at bay. Although my pop never played up his military service much, this is one of the things for which I am proud of my old man.
