Thank you Jim. My only wish for this day would be.
That the America I once knew, and gave thirty years of my life for.
Would come back to being the nation I recognized then.

I share your Thanks with ALL VETERANS who understand what WE ALL ARE ABOUT TO LOSE.

I'm not sure how appropriate it is for a non-American to contribute on this thread. But I would like to say that your military forces have given much to this world of ours, and are owed considerably more appreciation for this than they have received over the years. May I offer my own salute to their sacrifices for the cause of freedom.

The UK has its own memorial day which coincides with yours .. also for 11th November, serving very much the same purpose. It's called 'Remembrance Day'. Tradition has it that the citizens of the UK fall silent for 2 minutes, at 11AM, to mark our remembrance of those who've died in our World Wars.
