Thank you to all our Veterans.
here, here
To Wade Slack
To Louis Fastuca
To Matthew Hennigan
To Raymond Alcaraz
To Ryane Clark
And to all the others who were not fortunate enough to come home.
To Genaro Acosta--who was one of the funniest classmates we had...thank you. You lost your life in Iraq 7 years ago today and I still remember the sadness that came over me when I read your obituary. Your sacrifice will never be forgotten.
And to the Veterans of past wars and those currently serving...thank you from this grateful citizen.
Thank you!
Who's off today? Wish I was.
We get our day off tomorrow--which, I prefers since it gives us a 3-day weekend as opposed to having to come back on Friday.
Do you work for the government?
Sorta lol.
How's it going over there with Pakidad?
To all my brothers and sisters - this is a day to remember all that have fallen and all those that are still abroad serving today.
As a member of the Air Force for 10 years and someone who served in Operation Iraqi Freedom as well as Operation Southern and Northern watch I can tell each and everyone out there the life of a military member is NOT easy. Being away from you family for months and even years is hard, not being able to tell them when you're coming home is difficult, but the rewards of fulfilling your mission is better than a championship hands down. One Team / One Mission!!!
To all those military members here in ST thank you!!!

Sorta?

I'm a 7th prestige with a 1.75 K/D ratio, it's been rough sacrificing all my time killing these terrorist bas s but I love my country.
Happy veterans day yall
Naw. Not that exciting...I actually work for a college system, so, it's like working for a gov't...good thing I'm still getting paid and not receiving an i.o.u or two (or three)
Respect and thanks to all who serve, past and present.
I will come to a time in my backwards trip when November eleventh, accidentally my birthday, was a sacred day called Armistice Day. When I was a boy, and when Dwayne Hoover was a boy, all the people of all the nations which had fought in the First World War were silent during the eleventh minute of the eleventh hour of Armistice Day, which was the eleventh day of the eleventh month.
It was during that minute in nineteen hundred and eighteen, that millions upon millions of human beings stopped butchering one another. I have talked to old men who were on battlefields during that minute. They have told me in one way or another that the sudden silence was the Voice of God. So we still have among us some men who can remember when God spoke clearly to mankind.
Armistice Day has become Veterans' Day. Armistice Day was sacred. Veterans' Day is not.
So I will throw Veterans' Day over my shoulder. Armistice Day I will keep. I don't want to throw away any sacred things.
What else is sacred? Oh, Romeo and Juliet, for instance.
And all music is.

Happy Birthday Joe Chalupa!

Any thank you I say could never be enough.
From the bottom of my heart you guys are the best.
My grandfather flew P-38's in WWII and my dad relayed orders to the front lines in Vietnam.
I salute them and all others that have fought for this country.
