Happy Belated Marine Corps. birthday to all you bad ass Marines out there. OORAH!!!  
   
 Today is Veterans Day and I would like to thank all veterans for your service.  I would not have the freedom to post on a board like this and so many other things that I take for granted if it were not for you.  
   
 For the month of November I will offer a $100 discount to all Veterans as my way of say Thank you.  
   
 I would ask that we all do something to remember today – Buy the service man or woman in line that cup of coffee or lunch, light a candle or give to a charitable veterans cause.  
   
 The Soldier Pays  
   
 What do they mean it's the results that could not be foreseen?  
 It's about the mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, husbands and wives  
 that laid their lives on the line for the peace we enjoy at this time  
 Liberty is not free and for it the soldier must pay.  
 There were those who came home and those who did not  
 and on this day we will let them know they will never be forgot.  
 Even this day around the world, we are here and there  
 but that is our way of life, to help everywhere.  
 Remember each morning when the sun comes up,  
 it was made possible by what each gave up.  
 Let us not take for granted what we have today,  
 it was given to us by those they took away.  
 Let us put into perspective the meaning of Memorial and Veterans Days  
 and thank from the bottom of our hearts all those who showed the way.  
 This thank you is from me and those who cannot,  
 and let them know, they will never be forgot!
