Happy Veterans Day to all our soldiers near and far, those that have risked their lives to keep us safe, came about with bravery, honor and loyalty. We commend you with great honor and highest respect.
I was watching the World War series events on History Channel, where they had the live footages of the astrocities of war.. there was a Veteran from the US fighting a war in another country who made a comment he said.. "Here i am in this land where the bombs drop a dime a dozen, I'm here from a land that has never had one bomb drop upon us, I'm a United States Marine".. thats something to be proud of..

From my grandpa, who chased Pancho Villa and fought in both world wars, to my dad, who played clarinet in the Navy band, to my uncle, who navigated a B-52 bomber in Vietnam, and my father-in-law, a helicopter pilot in Vietnam who died 3 months before his son was born, and my brother, retired from the air force - to all the soldiers who have fought for my freedom. Thank you!

Heroes
In war, there are lives risked and lives taken
Men and women giving their best to defend what they love
They defend their country
Their honor
Their people
Some call them soldiers
Others call them heroes
Our veterans have risked their lives for us
They have lived through hell and fought with honor
Many have killed
And regret doing so
For every life, there is a soul
For every soul, there is a life
For those who have died, we show great appreciation and remembrance
For those who live, along with them live the horrific memories of battle
Some, memories of defeat
Some, memories of victory
Our veterans were more than soldiers
They were, and still are heroes
By Jared Jenkins Thank chilly's grandpa,father, uncle, her father in-law,her brother and all the heros out there who fought and still fighting for our freedom!!! Sometimes I forget and don't realize the importance veterans play as they voluntarily serve America each and every day...Thank you!!!

Today is also Veterans Day or Rememberance Day as we call it here in the UK (and also called Poppy Day). Today at 11am the entire country will stop everything to observe the 2 minutes silence to remember all those that fought bravely not only in the first world war but in all times of fighting and have lost their lives protecting and fighting for their country. The 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. We shall remember.
