[QUOTE="scratch, post: 344769, member: 1674"] This is the whole point of this thread, I am just reminding everyone to remember and respect what our veterans have done. It has nothing to do with politics. I have been to Arlington National Cemetery and watched the "Changing of the Guard" thats in the video that av8torntn posted. Back when I was a Scout Leader, we used to take the boys to put American Flags on the local veterans graves. I have been to the Arizona Memorial in Pearl Harbor a couple of times and watched the fuel oil still bubble up out of that tomb. I can remember when the Viet Nam vets came home and were spit on and called "Baby killers". Last time I flew out of the Atlanta Airport, a group of Servicemen were changing planes and we all stopped and gave them a round of applause. So I think the public for the most part is doing a better job recognizing our military. I have a neighbor a couple of doors up that is in the Air National Guard full time. Once a year he goes out of town for a month or two on deployment. His grass was waist high and hasn't been touched by his 19 year old son who is supposed to come by and take care of it. So I cut it for him, and I am not going to tell him when he gets back. I just respect these people, and appreciate what they have done. [/QUOTE]
