Remembrance Day, 2004

Today is Veterans Day in the USA, and Remembrance Day in the British Commonwealth countries. Too many others have said it better than I can, so I'll just let them do so:

  • What an outstanding post by John of Castle Argghhh!, on marching in his first Veteran's Day parade, and the depth of the bonds veterans share, and why. His closing salute from an American vetran to Canadian veterans was classy as hell, the capper to an outstanding post. May those 13 toasts to absent friends go down smooth, John - and know that we, too, salute them today.
  • Want to support your country's currently-serving troops? Our compiled How to Support the Troops post gives you lots of options, for a number of countries. Including a few options you would never have imagined.

Texas Lady. A few tears shed already today and a few more yet to be shed. We went to breakfast this morning at the Legion Post, (NO scrambled eggs) and the annual parade at 11.

We owe our troops and those that are sharing the burden a BIG thank you, which I'm just going to second, since you beat me to it.

God Speed to them ALL.

I agree completely with what TexasGal said. Thank you.

As you post your comment, please mind our simple comment policy: we welcome all perspectives, but require that comments be both civil and respectful. We also ask that you avoid the extensive use of profanity, racist terms (neither of which we consider civil or respectful), and other boorish language.

We reserve the right to delete any comment, and to prohibit you from commenting on this site, if we feel you have broached this policy. As a courtesy, we will first send you an email noting a violation so you understand the boundaries. This will occur only once, however, and should we ban you from our comment forums we expect that ban to be permanent.

We also will frown upon those who suggest that we ban other individuals for voicing unpopular opinions, should those opinions be voiced in a civil and respectful manner. The point of our comment threads is to provide a forum for spirited though civil and respectful discourse … it is not to provide a forum in which everyone will agree with your point of view.

If you can live by these rules, welcome aboard. If not, then we’re sorry it didn’t work out, and thanks for visiting The Command Post.
