Guys, I didn't say this in the beginning because I didn't want this to be about me. I am a former Marine Corps Tank Mechanic. I was being polite and courteous by making that post. All veterans should be thanked all of the time in my opinion. It's not something everyone does in their lifetime. However, besides those who were drafted back in the day, it was our choice to join and serve! It was a path WE chose, not one someone chose for us I know I joined knowing I could die for my country and family. I didn't join for school, money, food and shelter ! What I should have mentioned above was a special remembrance and prayer to the fallen and their families. Don't forget the families, they live every day suffering the loss of their loved one.
