Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for November 11, 2013

Thank You for your service in past and current conflicts.

She never seems too interested when he goes on his history trivia monologues, but doesn’t discourage him, either. Bless her heart!

Ouch…Way too many veterans didn’t make it to this year…

Lest we forget…

The way things are going with our government right now, I’m not too sure of that. Love the veterans, they are awesome.

Canada has Remembrance Day. No matter what you call it, never forget.

This past Saturday was the final toast of Doolittle’s Raiders. They planned that the final toast would be when only two survivors remained but decided that since the 4 of them were in their 90’s and suffering ill health (one couldn’t travel to make the toast) they had better make the final toast this year.

Thanks to all Veterans for your service!

I’m normally not very serious on here but as a 20 vet, I truly appreciate those before me and the young folks getting it done today. Navy Chief, Navy Pride.

Amen

Thank you seems so hollow to what you Vets have and are doing for our country. The sacrifice of your time, body and even life is more than what a mere Thank You can cover.

Arlo is correct, wars don’t go on forever, but war does.

In France, after the last French WWI veteran passed away in 2012, it has become Memory Day (Memorial?) for all the soldiers who died for France.

God bless our special breed, soldiers, past and present

To my fellow vets, thank you for your service. And to everyone else, thanks so much for your best wishes!!

Again, thank you to all of our Vets. I wish Veterans Day was truly a holiday, not just another excuse to have a big sale. As Kea said, “as long as it’s profitable”.

Well said Mr. Johnson.

You are welcome. I was honored to serve.

Lost my brother this year, Vietnam vet. RIP bro

I think every country that commemorates Armistice Day has renamed the commemoration. In the US, it got changed to “Veteran’s Day.” For most or all of the British Commonwealth (including countries no longer in that commonwealth), it is “Remembrance Day.”

Show your appreciation of what veterans did by trying to be worthy of their sacrifices — and maybe an occasional “Thank you.”

How right you are!

My Dad is a Vietnam Vet who did 2 tours. He got a hug and a “thank you” from me this morning.

It makes me sad to think that we will always have wars, and hence, more veterans. I wish no one had to go through what he did.

Thank you to all VETERANS.

I really wish Veterans Day would become irrelevant — that we would end war for all time, and none of our young people would have to suffer the trauma of war ever again.

Wouldn’t be wonderful if we lived in a world where there were no veterans! I appreciate what they have and are doing, but it is a real shame that they had to do what they did and what they are doing. May there come a day when the world will see real peace for everyone around the globe.

Spoke too soon, Arlo. Today the left hates Veterans and is doing everything they can to make Vets suffer and cancel them.
