Found out Mrs. VanZep has a great great uncle who was killed overseas in WW2 in a grave just up the road. So yesterday me and the little girl went and bought some of the hand flags at walmart and today we're going to the grave yard to meet their distant uncle.

The little one had the idea of using the other 3 flags in the package to find some vets who may not have anyone visit. I like her style of thinking.

God bless US military vets

With apologies to the likes of Eddie Van Halen and Magic Johnson, those who have served and are serving in our military are the true heroes.

"Our Vietnam Veterans have taught us that no matter what our positions may be on policy, as Americans and patriots, we must support all soldiers with our thoughts and our prayers." -Z Wamp

My favorite Veteran...My father, The General. Thanks, Dad.

Not sure if you guys have the same tradition down there. But up here at 11 am on the 11th day of the 11th month of the year we do two minutes of silence basically as a way to remember those who have served in the military past and present. It's not much to ask from people but it's something nice. Well I'm at my kids karate class on Saturday and it runs through 11 am and the sensei at 10:57 or so tells all the kids to line up and explains what is happening. I clue it right when he stops class as does one of the other parents and we get up. As the sensei is explaining the importance of the day and why we stand in silence I'm just amazed watching all of these clueless parents still sitting and playing on their phones and ipads as their kids and a couple of us stand in silence. This beautifully captured, to me, why the world is going to shit. Are Americans as fucking dumb as we are apparently where things like this are concerned?

Day late here due to being out of town fishing enjoying our resources because of our vets past, present, alive, and dead. They are the heros. They dont decide the wars they just go and fight, die,and get dismembered. From the rice paddies in Vietnam to Gettysburg PA and everywhere else.
Thank You

Yes. We are self centered and really don't appreciate things like this day. The younger generation is the "me me me" generation. A lot of people don't understand the importance of a day like veterans day. It's just a day that the banks are closed and no mail. It's sad really.
