Put my flag out today, and while my car was in the shop took about 30 roses and donated them to the Veterans Cemetery in west los angeles.

My grandfather who passed away this year was in the navy during WWll. Might be the most considerate thread ive seen on this site outside of the babe forum. Good post

I forgot where I saw it, but apparently there is exactly one US veteran alive who served in The Great War.

Yeah, just one.

I am blasting Lee Greenwood at exponential volumes right now.

Year before last, went to the VA parade in Muskogee, and they had three of the original Buffalo Soldiers..a bit too old to be on horseback I gather..they were all waving from a car..I stood at attention..talk this year with the parade coordinator..they were all dead by now..So I was glad I got the one chance to talk to my son and let him know about the Buffalo Soldiers.

yup, that is correct, the DoD is only aware of one left.......incredible, the last of his generation.

A couple of months ago, those fascist motherfuckers at the Fox News network attempted to pin this band into a corner by suggesting that we said that the President should be assassinated. Nah, what we said was: that he should be brought to trial as a war criminal and hung and shot. That’s what we said. That’s what we said. And we won’t back away from the present, from the position cuz the real assassinator is Bush and Cheney and the whole administration for the lies that destroyed men in Iraq. They’re the ones.
And what they refuse to air, what they refuse to air which was far more provocative in my mind and in the mind of my family is this: that this system has become so brutal and vicious and cruel that it needs to start wars and profit from the destruction around the world in order to survive as a world power. That’s what we said.
And we refuse not to stand up, we refuse to back down from that position not only for the poor kids who are being left out in the desert to die, but for the Iraqi youth, the Iraqi people, their families, and their friends, and their youth who are standing up and resisting the U.S. occupation everyday. And if we truly want to end this fucking miserable war, we have to stand up with the same force that the Iraqi youth are standing up with everyday and bring these motherfuckers to their knees. Wake up.

What relevance does that have to a "thank you, veterans" thread?

[Willam]

Great thread, Okie.

Thank you to all who served, and to their families that also served through their sacrifices.
