Veteran's Day

[Cornflower MM]

It's that day of the year again. (I'm 99.9% sure, anyway)

Thanks, Dad, for all that you've done.

[Jukka the Sling]

To all veterans: thank you for your sacrifice.

That's something we can all get behind, I think, regardless of politics.

[Banya]

^Agreed.

Thank you.

Also: Armistice day, which put an end to over four years of intense fighting that changed the world forever. World War I initiated the beginning of many things like Nazi Germany. New nations made and old empires destroyed, and too many lives lost. Remember not only our current veterans, but the ones from years behind us.

Salute!

My Grandpa was in the airforce.

Salute!

My Grandpa was in the airforce.

So was mine, much thanks to both of them.

My Great-Uncle served as a Sergeant with the Australian Armed Forces at the Siege of Tobruk during WWII. We owe all of our Veterans (from all countries) gratitude for keeping us, and a lot of other people, safe during troubled times.

Them too.
I actually have relatives who fought on both sides of WWII, so it's kind of odd, but....
*cough*

Here's to all those who have given their lives for the freedoms we enjoy. May they never be forgotten. Special thanks to my grandfather, and my great-grandfather, particularly- my personal connection to the sands of Normandy Beach and Pearl Harbor.

Let us NOT fulfil the old poem.

God and the Soldier
All men adore
In time of trouble
And then no more:

For when war is over,
And all things righted,
God is forgotten,
The old soldier slighted.

How so?

One great-grandfather for the Allies and the others for the Axis.

Edit:
*cries*
Spooked everyone off...
