Thank you for your service.
Salute to all the veterans.
Dad served in the army as a young man and in the police thirty years later.
🙏🙏
Thanks to all veterans!
And also to veterans of our nation's intelligence agencies, whose courageous service has usually gone unnoticed, and unknown. Alongside those in the uniformed services, they, too, have kept us safe.
My thanks to them all, known and unknown, past and present.
Today, I talked to my kids about Veteran's Day, and I recited this poem (IN FLANDERS FIELDS) to every one of my classes.
Every veteran who serves writes a check to his country, signed in his life's blood, when he enlists. For the lucky ones, like me, the check is handed back when your service is complete. For too many others, it is cashed in, and they lie where they fell, serving their homeland, all over the world. Yet - they went anyway.
That is the epitaph that should be written on the grave of every veteran: HE WENT ANYWAY*
(Or SHE, for both genders have served their country well)

You should In Flanders Fields by Sabaton for them next year. It's an amazing version of the poem.
