For those sayings “thank you” to a Vet, keep it up, it is gratefully appreciated. I have 30 years of service in the Navy and 11 years with DOD, I joined as an 18 year old at the very end of Nam. We were told in boot to expect a hostile pubic and I witnessed that several time in my first 6 years, included getting called a baby killer and spit on once (the night of boot graduation). Since then I have deployed many times and flew in my aircraft off and over many hostile shores and I have seen the country changed and more and more I got “thanks you” in uniform. Then, as well as today, it swells my heart and make me remember the many friends that I had that cannot stand with me to salute our flag. This Veteran day I will celebrate even more because my daughter is now an Airman First Class in the WV ANG. Pride runs deep God Bless America!
