Does that include drinks?:32:

Re: A Salute & Thank You to ALL The US Military Veterans
 

Our car always has an American Flag decal on it to remind our family about the freedoms (including racing) that our country has provided for us. Without our Veterans these freedoms would not be here. A heartfelt THANKYOU goes out to all our Veterans.

Re: A Salute & Thank You to ALL The US Military Veterans
 

Thats a great idea.

Thank you to all our Veterans and enlisted service men and women.

Re: A Salute & Thank You to ALL The US Military Veterans

Thank you Veterans for all that you've done from the Stephens family, are prayers are always with you

Re: A Salute & Thank You to ALL The US Military Veterans
 

I would very much like to thank all the past and present Military personel who have and or are serving this great country of our's to help protect our freedom's and our right's. Thank you to all the Men and Women from the bottom of my heart. Happy Veteran's Day to you all! ! !

Re: A Salute & Thank You to ALL The US Military Veterans
 

I too would like to thank all the veterans. Without your sacrifices it would be a totally different world. We often forget to honor you who served on a regular basis. Next time you see a soldier in uniform go and shake their hand and thank them in person. It is a powerful act.

Re: A Salute & Thank You to ALL The US Military Veterans
 

Thanks to all our Vets and Service Personel. Freedom isn't free! It it was taken and must constantly be fought for.

Chuck, Sincerely thanking those who do what needs to be done to keep us able to enjoy this great nation.

Re: A Salute & Thank You to ALL The US Military Veterans
 

I would also like to thank our American servicemen and women. I don't know how you feel or what you must be going through
and to be honest I don't want to. But I do know I will keep praying for you ALL and I want to tell you THANK YOU!!!

Father God
Bless them with a keen sense of sight, sounds and smells. Give them a new sensitivity to their surrounds. Keep them alert.
Bless them with great boldness to do the tasks they are trained to do for their families as well as ours.
Comfort them God with Your love and protection. Build their faith God, help them to understand the power in the name of Jesus.
Comfort their families as well, be the hands that hold and protect them till their father, mothers, husbands, wives, sons, daughters
friends and famiy members can come home.
And if it should all fall apart may we accept God that you are still in control;
In Jesus name we pray in faith
AMEN

What a great day I had. Urged to do so by my granddaughter, I reluctantly attended a Veterans Day program at Rising Sun (IN) High School. I am so glad now that I did. Sincere Thank You's and congratulations to the faculty and student body, especially the officiating class and student council officers for creating a special and memorable experience. :8:

I was in awe of the many WWII vets in attendance as well as my fellow vets of Korea, Vietnam plus those from other service periods. :9:

The HS band and choir contributed outstanding renditions of several chest expanding patriotic numbers. It was nice.......VERY NICE. And now I must get off a letter telling them so.

Re: A Salute & Thank You to ALL The US Military Veterans
 

Yes, Thank You All!!:9::9::9:

Re: A Salute & Thank You to ALL The US Military Veterans
 

I too want to express my heartfelt thanks to all the veterans for their service to their country. Without ALL OF YOU we would not enjoy the freedoms we have today. Many fought in conditions that are inhumane and did so without a complaint. They did it because they had an obligation to..... DUTY. It takes a rare breed of man or woman to be a part of the Armed Services. Anyone can sign up, yes. But its a special person that makes the cut and goes on to serve faithfully for our country.

THANK YOU to all of you out there who served!!!!

Re: A Salute & Thank You to ALL The US Military Veterans
 

From Dave Darland Racing, we too want to Thank EVERY Service Member throughout the world, past and present, for giving us our freedom and for keeping us safe! God Bless You All!:9:

Re: A Salute & Thank You to ALL The US Military Veterans
 

I want to personally thank all of the men and women that are serving and that have served in all of the branches of the military. THANK YOU!!!!:32::6::22:

Re: A Salute & Thank You to ALL The US Military Veterans
 

Chuck, belated Happy Birthday! Sorry I missed the orignal post somehow. Better late than never. :)

Re: A Salute & Thank You to ALL The US Military Veterans
 

Our heart felt thanks to all members of our Armed Forces past and present for the freedoms we enjoy in the USA by your sacrifice.
We would like to ask any of you IOWers that keep prayer lists to please add our 20 yr.old grandson Lcpl Joshua Kaiser, USMC. He has done one tour in Iraq and is shipping out to Afganistan this weekend. Thank you.
