11-11-11 VETERANS DAY
11-11-11 is Veterans Day this year and it happens to be a Friday. I salute all our veterans whom have given their all...THEIR LIVES. We shall honor our Veterans whom are still at war fighting for our rights to remain a free country. The brave men and women of the Armed Forces deserve our thank you on this day each year and really every day of the year.
We have many veterans here on this site whom have retired but was stricken by stroke. Some with other medical conditions in need of all our prayers, well wishes and thoughts! Lets remember those that were survivors but have also crossed over to be with our Father in heaven.
Here in my town many of the restaurants are offering one free meal ALL DAY to Active Duty service members and those retired veterans too! Any family members will have to pay of course. There are drawings at certain car dealerships to give away an automobile to the lucky Veteran winners both active duty or retired! I don't have the luck to even enter my name in those drawings so I'll wait to see the winners on TV news that night.
This is a day, 11-11-11 that happens only once a century and with that in mind anyone born in 1911 will be celebrating their 100th birthday. There has to be at least a couple in that category. People are living longer now so I bet we have someone right here in my town!
We should have a few birthday member celebrating their birthdays too and we know there are some being born in hospitals around the world. Some of them will become veterans in their own times. :big_grin:
Again I salute all my fellow veterans on this day and we thank them all for their service to their country...SALUTE... :Clap-Hands: :beer:
Fred! Also a retired Veteran!!!
