Happy Veterans Day to all of my fellow Veterans. My father was in the old Army Air Corps during WW2. I was Army Military Police. My youngest son is retired from the Coast Guard.

Going to Dennys later for the free breakfast, and then taking my 15 y.o. Grandson to the Veteran's Day parade.

Do all vets the honor of a couple of minutes of respectful silence in remembrance.

I see your military career extended thousands of years into the future. I really have to respect a man who re-ups that many times.
