In my nice, warm house, I can honestly say that I live in the greatest country on earth. My health, safety, standard of living, and outlook for the future are better than a majority of the other occupants of this planet. For that, I am thankfull for the veterans who made this possible.
To all those who served, and especially those veterans I share this forum with- Thank You!
