Veteran's Day: For the record

[annathepiper]

pecunium, lostkun, and fredpdx, thank you. Also to anyone else out there who may be reading this, and who is now serving or who has served in the armed forces.

You guys get shit from both sides--the people who don't think you should be doing what you're doing, and the people who claim they support you and yet don't give you the tools to do the job, or the support you need when you get home. You get called upon to do, over and over, what I think most people these days can't really conceive at all of doing, and I include myself in that set of people.

Yet for doing what you've done, for listening to your conscience when it asked you the question "what do you want to do in service to your country?", I respect and salute you.

Thank you.

Hey- at least you can get a free meal at Applebees! :)

(I say this is sarcasm and seriousness. One the one hand cool for Applebees.. on the other hand.. is really 10% discounts at home depot and free veterans day meals at restaurants the best this country can do?)
