God bless all the warriors that contributed to this country's greatness.

My sentiments exactly...

spent yesterday delivering flowers to various grave sites...saw too many with service insignias with no flowers...I guess I'll adopt some of them...hope you guys do the same.

 

[ThePiombino]

God bless all the warriors that contributed to this country's greatness.

Amen to that!

Thank you to all of the soldiers and their families that sacrificed everything and afforded us all of the freedoms that we have today

I'm going to plant some flags on vet's graves at local cemeteries today. My high school football coach first had us do it and I've carried it with me since, even during my time in the Army. I would recommend everyone does the same if you can swing it, as it is rewarding and a grand gesture to dress up their resting places, so everyone knows the caliber of warrior you have at your local cemetery.

Tressel and Ohio St.'s cheating asses are not allowed to bury this thread. Pay your respects...

I am proud of our country and the selflessness of our young men serving.

May we never forget those we lost.

God bless America!

God bless our troops!

And Go Irish!!

Thanks to the Past, Present, and Future young men and women who serve our country without complaint and allow us to have the freedoms we do. We take for granted the ability to wake up in our own bed and go to work in a job that WE choose, and go on vacation when we want.
Thanks to all the soldiers and God Bless America

So screw those of us who bitched up a storm while doing it?

Both of my grandfathers are Korean War vets, Army and Navy respectively, and a cousin currently serving in the USAF. God Bless America! Let freedom ring...and thank you for the selfless sacrifice of every soldier, and their families who await their safe return, and those who mourn the loss of their loved one, may God bless those families too.

You know what they say..........

A bitching sailor/soldier/etc. is a happy sailor/soldier/etc.

One thing I inherited from my dad was a deep patriotism and a deep love for every man and woman who serves our great nation.

Spirit, that made those heroes dare
To die, and leave their children free,
Bid Time and Nature gently spare
The shaft we raise to them and thee.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Honestly, I've heard this song so many times on Independence Day, during elementary talent shows, etc. and every single time I tear up.

My saying for today is this:
Remember, you didn't earn the day off today, somebody else earned it for you.
God Bless America

Go Irish.

Just had a buddy deploy for the second time last week, and drove his wife and 2 kids to the airport, to go stay with her mom until he gets back. I really wish people understood the sacrifice that goes along with guarding our country.
