Thanks to all those who have served, are serving, will serve. To those who have given their all and those who have come back home scarred physically, and mentally for their blood sweat and tears have given us the luxury of freedom. Two whom I will especially miss this year are my younger brother who died in February, and my Father in Law who died last month. Through the Blood and the mud and the Tears to the Green Fields beyond.

To everyone of you that has served, Thank You!
While at the National Museum of the Air Force over the weekend, I met a number of special individuals that were there to talk about their experiences. I made it a duty to walk up and hear their stories and to thank each and every one of them. One that flew a Thud was next to his personal plane. Another was a Brigadier General that flew A10's.
Also, Chuck Yeager's wife was there signing her books so I had that opportunity. I bought the book about him.

I thought it was only the Commonwealth countries that did Remembrance day, My thanks to all who have served.
