[sup]Despite the opinion of a small minority, those of us who served in the military are not sociopathic babykillers. We are ordinary people who chose to serve our country in the uniform of our armed services. Some of us still do.[/sup]

In the United States, Veteran’s Day will be observed on Friday, November 10th. If we’re gonna have a parade by then, I suggest we start marshalling it now. I brought the traffic cones, but all veterans (active duty or not, U.S. or any other country) are welcome to participate, as well as the people we serve.
I’ll start the roll call:[ul]Baloo, SSgt, USAF, Ret.: HERE! [Salutes][/ul]
My husband and my father are vetrans. Hubby won’t be marching though. He blew his knee out in service of his country, after many surgeries and physical therapy, he can walk agian. The doctors still insist he can’t, and warn us that eventually he will lose that faculty again so take it easy, his miles are limited.
I want to say a special thank you to all our vertans who were harmed physically and mentally in service of our country, during peace or war.
