Thank you for your service. I've heard that phrase many times, and have said it myself just as many times, but never has it meant more to me than it meant yesterday. While keeping an appointment at the VA, a nurse approached me in the hallway, and handed me a bottle of water and a small envelope.

I had never recieved such a gift in my life.

The envelope was addressed "To a Veteran" in small, uneven but careful handwriting. Inside, again carefully written, "Thank you for your service and for protecting our Country" signed by an 8th Grader in a school somewhere in these United States of America.

My eyes welled up with tears unexpectedly, and I couldn't speak for a few moments. My Veterans Day came just a bit early, and was brightened by a child I had never seen. I wish this experience could be shared by all Veterans, and to those Veterans who are at peace, I dedicate that lovely little card.

Thank you for your Service.

24 years in the service and I still choke up when I hear the National Anthem and know what it stands for. It didn't mean much to me when I joined at 18, but it does now and it always will.

Many thanks to all, including ancestors I never knew .... three who served during the Civil War in an artillery unit - each came home with serious life-long disabilities, and one who was killed in VA .... three uncles who immigrated as children from Germany and served during WW2 in US Army AF, the Army Paratroopers and in the US Navy on board the carrier USS Saratoga. .... USAF here (Nam).

Spent a very nice day in Baltimore doing one of my other hobbies with a friend who is recovering from a recent stroke. He is a veteran of the Korean War. I happened to think I might not be here enjoying this day if it wasn't for all the veterans, both present and past who served. Thanks to all veterans everywhere!!
