A funny thing for two days I have had terrible hand cramps in my rifle arm and thoughts of fox holes I had no idea why untill I remembered the date. The mind is a terrible thing to have sometimes Semper Fi but peace above all else

Not weird in the slightest.

Just wonderful peaceful thing to do. Feed birds, talk about a nice active meditation.

God blesses America through our veterans and our soldiers. I have a friend who is a Commander for the American Legion. It is awesome to be in their presence on this day. They are a unique group of people.

You need to know I got sober and am a a man of peace. Esxcept when some big truck got on my butt and started pounding his horn. Stopped my truck and said if you have an issue lets deal with it. He backed of but could have probaby kicked my butt. I am am 66 just play an atttitude. Than I did a meditation of apology. But I had that energy to go to a bar and drink but came home to Sr

I'm a vet and I'm so proud to say that this is the first time I've been sober for 7 days in a long long time. I'm reenlisting back to active sometime next year and I can't wait =)
I don't think I could've done this w/o SR

We're blessed to have so many people willing to lay everything on the line for us. When you put on that uniform, you have no idea what you may have to face - that's what makes it such a brave thing to do.
