Veteran's Day

In Honor of Veteran's day tomorrow I would like to suggest a moment of silence tomorrow at 9 a.m. no matter what your time zone. Time to just thank our Veterans. From all eras of history.

Thank you for posting this topic. There is an honorary moment of silence at 11 am, in rememberance of the signing of the armistice on Nov. 11, 1918, ending WWI.

yeah thanks a lot Debski.

Ya thanks.

My grandafather is a veteran. Much appreciated.

You notice something? We were so involved into this Civil War stuff that we forgot that they were veterens to. We forget about stuff like that. And, most people don't consider the fact that most of our veterens are coming home from Iragi, still young. We always think of veterns as old folk.

yeah i noticed that, it's kind of sad really
my dad's a veteran, too

Thats neat Legra! I have a friend who just came home from Iraq. He use to fly's drones...

Both of my grandfather's are veterans, one from post-war Germany, and the other saw loads of action in Korea.

2 of My couzins fought in Iraq. One came back, and one is still there.

Well, the military seems to not want my family. Only two actually saw action out of maybe 10 that signed up.

two of my cousines were in the military but I don't think anny of them whent to Iraq.

one of my cousins didn't go because he threw his shoulder out in training.

A lot of my family has been in the millitary, both my grandfather's were in WWII, and my older brother and sis were in the army and airforce. And well, my dad was raised by my grandfather so he is like a drill sargeant anyways.

cool.

My grandfather on my dad's side was an american mechanic in Britain during WWII. And, my uncle served in Vietnam. (at least, I think)

That would have been a cousin in Vietnam, but you did have 2 great uncles in WWII as well as your grandpa. And a great uncle in the Korean War.

Oh, this might interest you IBG one of your great grandpa's in WWII had to radio that Musalienee ( don't know how to spell it) was dead and he had a soldier holding a gun to his head in case he said one wrong word. Because if he did they would blow his head off.

What, where, why, how? Which great-grandfather?

the unspeakable one

Voldemorte?

yep

they are talking about deceased relatives.

SUre. I believe he kicked the bucket.

oooooh
