    I would just like to say thank you to all the veterans out there. Because of your bravery, we're all able to enjoy the benefits of living in this wonderful country.

    Special thanks to my late Uncles Bill and Max. May you continue to rest in peace.

    Thanks to my Dad, a career Naval Aviator and Vietnam vet.

    Thanks to my father-in-law, who won a silver star and bronze star fighting with the 10th Mountain Division in Italy in WWII.

    And thanks to my Uncle Clell, who I never met, who died in the Battle of the Bulge.

    Thanks to the vets, one and all.

    My late grandfather, Samuel
    My late father, Robert
    My cousin, Darrin
    My late brother, Je'kob

    My 21 years of freedom were not easy to come by. It took the love and courge of so many men and women to make my freedom possible. I thank you eternally.

    I don't know of any immediate family of mine that was a veteran, but I'd like to thank all the veterans that fought/ are fighting for our country and protected/ are protecting us all while making sacrifices.

    Wish I had school off today... :mad:

    Thanks to pretty much everybody in my family:
    Both of my grandfathers were in the military, both of my parents are "Army brats". Thanks to my grandmothers who dealt with so much uncertainty and stress in their lives and supported my grandfathers 110%.
    My cousin is in the Marines over in the Middle East right now. Many of my friends are also in the Army or the Air Force going through Basic and AIT.
    And I especially want to thank everybody who continues to enlist because freedom is NOT free. I think that a lot of the time we take it for granted, and it's nice to be reminded every once in a while.
