I know it isn't the official "Thank a Vet" (Veteran's) Day, but I like to think about not only our fallen on Memorial Day, but all who have served. My sister in law is an officer in the Navy, but past that, I don't have a lot of family who have been involved with America's armed services - so...
I don't think I saw an official "Thank you armed services" thread today, so I thought I'd start one!
Thank you to any forum members and their family members, friends, etc. out there that are or have served America!

Re: Thank You
5Indeed. My grandfather was a Marine and my father was in the Navy. That's the extent of my family's service.
So a big thank you to all out there who have served!

Re: Thank You
7The chairman of R party in Ohio would like to say thanks too:
“Here in Ohio, we must continue to defend liberty in a very different kind of struggle. Ohioans have the opportunity to preserve their rights when it comes to choosing their own health care. Democracy affords us the choice of accepting or fighting back to prevent against a $1 trillion government takeover of our nation’s health care system.
“You can download the Health Care Freedom Amendment petition by clicking here. As you go to events this weekend in honor of our Armed Forces and the sacrifices made by generations of courageous Americans, I hope you will consider taking the petition with you and circulating it to your friends and family.”
