Happy Veteran day.  You're my heroes!

Lol Matt, you were one step ahead of me. Happy Veteran's day everyone. Thank you for your service

Thank you Thien! Not only are you a vet but you continue your service by helping vets get benefits they deserve! You the man bro!

thanks to all of you for your service and sacrafices,  and a special thanks to the wives who are left behind to pick up the pieces and hold the family together.

Thanks from a Vietnam Vet and NCKA member.  It's great to see the American public rising to the occasion and recognizing vets for their service to our country.  The "welcome" given to us Vietnam vets should never be repeated.  The past is the past and need  not  be repeated.  It's great to see America recognize  the vets for their sacrifices and service!  This a special day and our vets are special people.  THANKS!

Before I was born, you fought for me,
My name you never knew.
While I was a babe, you fought for me,
In lands too far to view.
While I was yet young, before my prime,
You gave the foe his due.
You searched him out, that enemy mine,
Whose name I never knew.
From mountaintop high, to rolling seas,
You fought while I yet grew.
Through deserts dry, and foliage green,
you fought the battles true.
And asked for nothing, in all this time,
Of battle cry and hue.
I cannot repay, what you did for me,
Your name I never knew.
But your fight was mine, this now I see,
how much I owe the few.
There is only this, one thing from me,
I need to ask of you.
A simple request, from one still free,
From all you've done and do.
What is it my friend, what do you need?
What can I do for you?

What is it my friend, what do you need?
What can I do for you?

You have done what I want you to do and that is live and be free.

Working at the VA, I see both old and young Vets come in everyday, and thank God my tour was an easy one compared to theirs.  To the older Vietnam my sincere thanks and appreciation for what you had to go through!
