• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

:USA-flag:Good morning from Europe and Happy Veterans' Day to all who sacrificed a portion of your lives to the cause of freedom.

And a solumn salute to all those who paid the ultimate sacrifice in the cause of freedom.
You are not forgotten, and many of us appreciate that commitment to liberty for others.

Rest in peace and Thank You.:USA-flag:
 
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
From Laurence Binyon's poem For the Fallen, written in September 1914
 
My best wishes to all of our veterans: US, NATO, SEATO or Commonwealth. Whether in war, in peace or in-between, you've manned the thin red line and kept the wolves at bay.

On the wall of one of the buildings in my basic training area many years ago was this:

"For those who have fought for it, Freedom has a flavor the protected will never know."

Here is a link to a Canadian song honoring veterans. I view it every year on this day.
