Thank you, but I hate to rain on your parade, but, a lot of this is BS, sorry I must tell the truth, about 90% of the we must honor the veterans is just that, BS. I honor the veterans that came before me, and especially the folks that gave it all, I went to the veterans cemetery today, and I prayed, I remembered my fallen comrades, but the average American could really care less, sorry it is just reality. Too proof my point, every where I went today..Walmart, Gas station, even the PX on base, I made a point of telling people I was a retire Navy veteran, nothing, not one person..thank you for your service, thank you for serving, nothing...I guess on Memorial day if your not dead, it just don't count, so my take away, folks love to say the politically correct thing, but when faced with a honest to goodness real life veteran, they could care less, they do nothing, just another old guy in there way, excuse me your in the way of me honoring the dead, so disheartening...you know just because a veteran didn't dye, doesn't mean he/she didn't give it their all, they deserve some attention too, and I think folks forget that...please don't bombard me with thanks you's that is not what this post is about, it is just a reminder, that the living need to be honored too...do some thing for a veteran today..please...I hate to be blunt, but there are a lot of veterans who carry survivors guilt, and today is the day it peaks...the living deserve to be praised every bit as must as the dead....I re-read this several times now, and I really thought hard about if I need to post this, if it pisses folks off so be it, but I stand by my comments, sorry, but it needs to be said...talk is cheap, action speaks volumes ...
