Happy Veterans Day...
...to our Veterans.   We have Nudger, Thump, me, and several others.

A salute to all.

I look forward to the day, not likely in my lifetime, when there is no need to celebrate Veterans Day because there is no need for the soldier beyond boot camp training.

Happy Veterans Day!

My two natural grandfathers and a step-grandfather all fought in WW II. (I came within a split-second of never existing.) My mom's Dad & her step-dad were both on the beaches of Normandy together during D-Day; they never met but ended-up being married to the same woman.

This former CTT1 from Reagan's Navy offers a sharp salute.

Our version (ANZAC Day) doesn’t roll ‘round til April, but in the meantime tip o’ the hat to the warfighters, past and present.

Had to go look that up, I've never seen that rating. I worked in the engine room of three different Navy ships.

Thanks, it was an honor to serve, far back in the misty past of 79-82.

Yeah, happy Veterans Day.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
