Default Re: On this Veterans Day...

We have just had Rememberence Day in Australia which makes us think of the fallen in all wars.
At this time my thoughts & concerns go out to our soldiers serving in places like Afganistan & Iraq. They are doing tasks that not all of us can do & maintain our sanity. Few of them will return as the same person that left their home country. Some of them will not return at all.

On a lighter note.
Felix, you have a year to recover before the next veterans day. In Australia we have a similar ANZAC Day on 25 April. I have marched since 1981 & now lead my division. I would not miss the service for anything, but I miss what happens afterwards due to it being my wifes birthday. It is your duty to:
1. Drink a 5th of Makers Mark with the Gunnery Sargeant.
2. Tap & seal the keg.
3. Finish that bottle of red with the Miss's at the dance.
