It’s always great to see that people still appreciate the armed services. Thank you to all the soldiers that came before us and paid the ultimate price to develop the techniques that we use to keep us alive today. We wouldn’t be where we are now without you, as civilians or as soldiers.

OBG,
Last year, I made a Vietnam Vet cry on the NYC subway. He was wearing a Vietnam Vet hat, and I qietly walked up to him and said "If no one has ever said it, thank you, and welcome home" He told me that I was the FIRST person to say it to him

So to ALL you vets out there, no matter which era

Welcome Home
