To the Vets and those currently serving.

I just read USAF_462's latest thread I got to thinking. I don't think this can ever be said enough. If you have served this great nation of ours or are currently serving I want to offer all of you a heart felt thank you. I am proud of and indebted to each and every one of you. Words can't completely express how strongly I feel about this.

Thank you sooooo much.

If you can read this thank a teacher. If you're reading it in English thank a veteran.

I couldn't agree more. I say "THANK YOU" to all of our Veterans and to all of our Active Duty Service Members.

On behalf of those serving and those who served: You're welcome! Duty called, and as dutiful citizens, we answered.

From a humble heart, you are very welcome. We did the job that needed doing, and our breed of American will continue to do so, in defence of our families, our fellow Americans, and our great nation.

I am with Seabee on this one, I always get so danged embarrassed when people say "thank you" but in a good way, we do a job that needs doing for a country that all of us love dearly and would give anything for.

In short sir, thank you for saying thank you, it warms my heart to no end to know that you ALL are the reason we do what we do!

Happened to me the other day too ... it is humbling.

From a 15-year USAF Veteran, thank you very much.
