Aww, don't feel so bad you did at least remember right? It sounds like you were playing with your child and doing things that veterans fought so you COULD do them. But what I did was woke up and kissed my husband and told him thank you because he is a veteran. I looked out at the sunny day (bit cold here but sunny) and sent a prayer over seas, praying that God keep the men and women over there now safe. I then did as you did and me and my hubby watched and played and laughed with our blonde haired blue eyes children because WE CAN DAMN IT (lol) What a wonderful thing the vets from the past and today give us eh? The freedom to laugh with our children WHEN WE choose and play WHEN WE choose and teach them of religion WHEN  AND HOW WE choose. Then we went and placed beautiful red, white and blue flowers upon my grandfathers grave and I told him thank you also, why? because I can!!! Huggs sweety and don't be so hard on yourself!!!  Why be? When you were only enjoying your day and child because you can. You remembered and somehow I think people remember every day, I know I do!!!

Yes, we are here and thank you for a very nice jester. It's always nice to here that. Let's not forget those brave men and women on active duty in our armed forces around the world today. They deserve our thanks, our respect, and our support.

There would not be a MLK day without Veterans. Veterans day and memorial day are taking for granted!!!

no all veterans should be honored. those men have rised their lives for us and given us the freedoms we enjoy everyday.  that is a very unpatriotic thing to say.  should we quit celebrating your bday?

After 16 years I finally got to meet my daughter this year. We spent yesterday making Thanksgiving dinner for the rest of the family together. \n\nI am so grateful for her, for my family, and for the amazing gift of life.

My brother served in Iraq until July when he was killed there.  But one of the things he always mentioned was the letters, cards, and little tokens of appreciate that total strangers sent to the troops.  A little something like a card can brighten someone's day.  When I was going through boot camp I got cards from people I didnt know but appreciated them just the same. Especially with the holidays coming up.

depends where you are. I've had people personally thank me for my service. I've also had college kids yell at throw stuff at my truck when they see the "Combat Veteran - U.S. Marines" decal on my back windshield. I think it's a mixed bag, but most people (whether they support the war or not) respect the sacrifices of the men and women in the military.

Like the others said, a simple thank you says so much. I am currently serving in Afghanistan, my thrid deployment to this region. I am proud to be in the military, and my wife is proud of me. We voluteer to be in the military, it is difficult at times. But we are still very proud. Saying thank you to a veteran means the world to him or her. Thank you for your appreciation. You dont have to agree with what we do. But the american public need to be proud of their soldiers, sailors, marines, and airmen. And realize that we are here to deter harm that may fall upon the american public. Think about this, the military comprises of less than one percent of the american people. Anyways, thank you for your and and your families support.

First, thank you for your service.  I honor all of our Veterans.  Second, I'm not a current service member but am married to an Army Veteran, have two currently deployed, with our youngest son leaving for Basic in June.  \nSupport?  Oh yes!  All one has to do is visit a post office on any given day and just observe the requests for 'custom forms'.  \nI belong to many support groups who send out a minimum of 25 care packges weekly.  We sponsor the 5 major hospitals in Iraq, our MAOs and many Veteran Hospitals here in the States. \nAs for me and my family, we will serve, honor and pay our respects to ALL Military members as well as our cherished Veterans.\nBTW, I lost a son in September.  This Mom knows the high cost of freedom and we choose to HONOR his memory by carrying on his dreams.\nAgain, thank you for YOUR service.
