    Thank you to all of the veterans and their families for the sacrifices that both have made. 
  • lousubcaplousubcap Posts: 19,459
    I will heartedly endorse @DoubleEgger's acknowledgement of the family sacrifice.  The deployments on the one side and then frequent relocations and "starting all over again" are a toll that we tend to look past.  
    To borrow from poet John Milton, "They also serve who stand and wait."
    Thank you @DoubleEgger.

    As a Veteran I can say I was surprised the banks were closed today. Not exactly what I expected. Banks must have lots of vets as employees.

    @FearlessTheEggNoob well said. 

    I pray my son and daughter get to grow up in a lifetime of peace. If my service had a hand in that then the risk was worth the reward.
