To Jeric and other Veterans:
Alot of people have to work today, and its a shame. Most won't remember, or even take time out to celebrate our lives here in America, thanks to the people that chose to serve our country in the armed forces.
My father, who turned 87 just a few days ago, was a WWII prisoner of war, and a Bataan Death March survivor (for those of you the have never heard of that, please take a moment and research it). My Mom was a Women's Army Corp nurse. My cousin was a Vietnam War Veteran. I think of all these, and those men and women that chose to put themselves in harm's way, so we could enjoy the very things we enjoy, and many times gripe about.
Please take a moment to thank someone today...that fought for our country and served, by their own choice, so that we might enjoy our freedoms. Thank you Jeric and any others that may be here that served in that capacity. My family is proud of you and grateful for your dedication!

Thanks Jeric. And to other vets out there... I feel bad that all of you will never get truly compensated for seeing and experience the front of any war.
My love and respect to you all...
