I will agree with the OP:
Thank you to all vets, past and present.
Shout out to all the brave men and women we have lost defending our freedoms that we all hold so dear.
And to all the living Vets we have right here on this board, thank you for your service.
I was never called to serve nor did I volunteer, so I am very grateful to those that did. It is you fine people that allow me and my family and friends to live under a blanket of freedom that you have provided and I am eternally grateful for that.
Sometimes, it's not about right or left, or Republican or Liberal.
Sometimes, like this weekend, it's what we share as people, and what we share as Americans.
Guys and gals, have a great holiday!
Next Memorial Day weekend won't find President Trump in an AXIS country, groveling.
And to all the living Vets we have right here on this board, thank you for your service.

...by fucking a butterface. I put an American flag over her face and do it for Glory.
What did you fuckers expect on a fuckboard?!?! GFY!!
You gave me pause while realizing once again, how fortunate I am, to have never had a friend wounded in war, die in my arms.
For those of you with Veteran friends, give them a shout out on the phone, or in person, and thank them for their service, no matter how long ago they served.
Some soldiers have NEVER heard, "Thanks for serving", from friends or acquaintances.
If you want to touch the heart of an old timer who served in Vietnam, tell them how much you appreciate their sacrifices for our country.
If you see tears, they're tears of remembrance for those they lost in war, and tears of joy for the respect you showed.
That's something they didn't hear back in their military days, when times were different and many spineless low life citizens made a point of protesting against and slandering soldiers, when the soldiers only crime was enlisting to serve their country or following orders when they received their draft notice.
I'll never forget when I was a child at the airport, with my Mom, and a crowd of young punks were protesting in the parking lot against weary, war torn soldiers on their way home.
Even as a child I could recognize the signs of fatigue,sadness and despair in the soldiers eyes.
I asked my Mom why are those kids yelling at the soldiers, my Mom replied, the protestors are not honorable like brave soldiers, they are cowardly scum with empty hearts.
I asked my Mom, "what's scum".
She spit on the pavement and rubbed it in with her shoe.
That shocked me but I got her definitive point, loud and clear, never to forget !
