I've always been fond of this quote:
A veteran is someone who, at one point in his/her life, wrote a blank check made payable to "The United States of America," for an amount of "up to and including my life."
Remember those who have served, and those who still serve today.

My Dad was a Veteran's Affairs service officer from right after WWII until he retired in 1975. In his company I visited scores of service men and women here at the VA hospital and went on many conventions, meeting hundreds of WWII and Korean conflict vets, as well as a few WWI vets and one Civil War widow. It seemed to be a natural choice to serve when my time came. Thank you all, fellow veterans, past, present, and future. The world is a better place thanks to you.
