Mine was quiet.   Several friends wished me a happy (?) veteran's day 
and thanked me for my service.   Veteran's day isn't quite like 
Thanks-Giving or Christmas though... having spent a couple of 
Thanks-Giving and Christmas days in a dismal place with not much more 
than my M-16 for company.


My thoughts don't surround me and what I did while wearing 
OD.  They're more for the people serving now in some forsaken 
shithole on the other side of the planet wishing THEY could have a 
normal Thanks-Giving and Christmas but instead are serving US 
interests, BY CHOICE.

Thank THEM for THEIR service.
