An excerpt from a recent post by Bob Bateman on Altercation:
"...'A veteran is somebody who, at one point in their life, wrote a check made out, 'To the United States of America' for the amount of 'Everything, up to and including my life'.'
"That friends, is a heavy debt our nation has there. It is more than all the trillions of mere dollars we owe. It is, indeed, as close a thing to a sacred obligation as I believe we can come."
Take a minute and say thanks to a veteran today.

Thanks!
From one WWII Vet to another.)
Thanks to you both for your comments - and your service. Fortunately for the three of us they didn't cash the check.
Brian, have you joined the VFW yet? I hear you can get a rum and coke for 69 cents there.
