Not an ordinary day

[LeoinSA]

My time was Viet Nam - as I 'spose several here had the same time.

Then wasn't appreciated so much.  Anything from a hostile reception to benign aversion.

Today was different - for the first time.

Work had an appreciation of vets.

Son was a Marine - he told me thanks for my service.  I thanked him.

Co-workers said thanks.

Went to Chili's for free food.  A number of folks said thanks.

Current personnel and vets exchanged thanks.  Bought each other shots of Tequila.

(damn funny how the fingers have trouble finding the keys after 4 shots of Patron.)

So to all that have served - thanks for helping keep our country safe and free.

Thank you Leo.  Thank you to all of our veterans. 

I went down from my office in downtown and watched the veterans day parade today.  I wasn't the only one who cried just a bit.  I wish we did half the job of protecting our own freedoms as our soldiers have done on our behalf.

Thanks Leo!
