    Default Thank you, Veterans

    Today is Veterans Day. We have a few of them here on the board, and of course more than we can count around the nation. I'm sure even a thank you means a hell of a lot. Thank you, Veterans.

    This is a video of Toby Keith in North Carolina from a few months back. He came out to do an encore and brought out a 93 year old vet to be honored.

Need I say more?” - Chris Rock

    Thank you both. If you don't think we can tell the difference between sincerity and the people that just mouth the words, think again. We got their number and we got their game.

    Thank You all for what you did and how you did it, no matter what branch.

    Thank You Jimmy for your sincerity. That really shows class and Honor.

    I have lost my mind. If found, please give it a snack and return it?

    He's always been steadfast cool to vets, even when he's pissed at one of us.

    I feel like such a slacker being banned only twice. Unless you want to count other boards. My Marines are probably disappointed in me. I could get banned 10 times a day back in the day.

    `Good "songs" ... to remember vets`


    `This... video features footage from 5FDP's recent trip to Iraq for the troops, and is a salute to the brave men and women who dedicate their lives to protecting our freedom.`

    Default Veterans Day

    Always miss my Dad on this day. Thank you for all who shared his love of country and sense of duty.


    My Dad is the handsome dude on the right. I believe the guy on his left is his buddy Swezey.

    Default For those who still aren't convinced WE DO have the mightiest Military in the World.

    And this is only a SMALL portion of our visible strength. Which is why I am so confident the Chinese, and Russians will never catch us.

    So, this is for them.
