Hero's, all of them. And we owe them our lives. I for one, never forget what the Veterans have done and are still doing for us today. We are free...thanks to a Veteran. We can sit in our office and talk sh*t to each other all day, and for that we owe a Veteran our thanks. The Veterans have done more for us than we can ever know. And also the current active duty members deserve our support and respect. You all have mine.

i dont think anyone really appreciates the real meaning of freedom until its taken from you.
REALLY go out and tell/show a service man thanks. Hug/shank hands, even take them out to dinner, $10 is nothing for what we get in return.

+1 for sure. It's a shame how many of the citizens of this country forget what has taken to attain our freedom and what it takes to retain it.
Thinking of our soldiers lost on this day...they should never be forgotten.
My grandfather was a WWII Navy vet...he passed away one year ago yesterday...he's been on my mind a lot and I recall last year how sad yet comforting it was that he passed away the day before Dec. 7th...I know I'm rambling...I really miss him...

My inlaws live just up the hill a little from PH and they were there at the event. Many many stories from the locals and some crazy stuff happened at that time. One of the worst I read was that later that day when our own flyers were returning they were shot down ( friendly fire ) thinking that it was the enemy.
Every year Japan sends reps and veterans to honor the dead of war. Strange to me...

My daughters school had a veterans day assembly. There was a man there in his 80's/90's? He was quiet and unassuming. My Dad struck up a conversation with him. It turned out he was a WW2 vet. His B-17 was shot down over Germany and he spent a good bit of time as a POW. I remember thinking that this guy looked just like your average senior. The same type of guy that I can imagine myself stuck behind on the freeway as he goes 50 in the fast lane. Yet this man put his life in harms way for us, was shot at for us and sufferred through interment for us. Meeting this man reinforced my admiration for all those who have served.
I'm 40 years old. I have never had to face the draft, the loss of a friend to war, or the threat of invasion. Thank you to all those who served and to those that are serving now.

In honor of those that fought, and those that lost their lives, on this day 64 years ago.
Brought it up this morning and would you believe no one remembered at all.... totally disappointed.
I am now making sure that everyone remembers.
they are always in thoughts and prayers we see reminders everyday
