I would like to thank all of the service members out there for their service to our great country. I want all of you to know that it is people like you that made and keep our country what it is. So from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU!

Navy 1951-54 junior officer. I don't need any thanks or praise, even though I saw some Korean War action. The Navy put this poor kid through college, paying him $50 a month (NROTC) also, with then asking the minimum requirement of service after that. Then, the GI bill put him in college again for a Master's. I don't need any praise, just a give a thank you to the US for these education programs. That service time has left me with great friends and memories, along with a fine career later..P.S also the GI loan at near zero percent interest for my first house was great.

U.S. Navy, 1969 to
1990.
The government has been sending me a thank you card the first of every month for 27 years as of this past September. That's thanks enough, but I do appreciate the thought.
The Navy was good to me. Taught me a trade (Electronics) provided a living for me and my family, took me to interesting places (Philippines, Japan, Korea, Iceland and a side-trip through Italy and Spain), met a lot of interesting people (and a few jerks...) and had a WHOLE lot of fun.
That retirement check let me pick and choose jobs for the next 20+ years. I could take a job that interested me, not one I had to have for the money. Also let me wave bye-bye to a job on a couple of occasions without fretting too much about finding another one.
Unlike some folks I know tho, when they piped me over the side at my retirement ceremony, I never looked back. That part of my life was a long time ago in a different world.
