BabyTara Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 I would like to give a heartfelt thank you to all our members that are past or present Armed Forces service people. Because of you, we have freedoms that other countries do not. In this time of government strife, you might be even more important. Again, thank you for all you have done for myself, my family, and my friends. Your sacrifice (and potential sacrifice) 1 Link to comment

Rockies Fan in Diapers Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 A Big Thank You to all of our Veterans indeed, including those who are members here. When I'm out & 'n About if I see someone that I can tell has served, I always do my best to get to them & say thank you for their Service, no matter what time of year it is. Our Service men & women deserve our thanks all of the time & I also agree with you Tara. Link to comment
Elfy Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Yes a big thank you to all those who served their country (no matter what country that was). Link to comment
Gennie Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 As a Vet, so many of us are thankful for this day, but many don't understand the hoopla goes with it, particularly those who served in earlier times than I did. Link to comment
ForbiddenFruit Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Many thanks to former and present service men and women, and to the (hopefully fewer and fewer) that will come in the future. And remember, we white-poppyers have just as much respect. Link to comment
feralfreak Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 is veterans day an international holiday? I don't mean that to sound disrespectful towards veterans(I don't know how that comes across), its just one of those things that no one told me Link to comment
IncontinentGM24 Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Many civilized nations have similar holidays. For the sake of convenience, they are usually on November 11. At least equate to US and Canada, and I don't know about others. Link to comment

Guest gnappies Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 It has nothing to do with convenience. It coincides with the former holiday called Armistice Day. Link to comment
