Veterans, thank you very much for your service and sacrifice on behalf of us all.

You took time from your own goals and dreams to provide a vital service for our country.
May you always be appreciated and honored for your selflessness

I was drafted in the Marines but joined the Army for an additional year. No one should be a Marine that doesn't really really want it for whatever reason.

Thank you.
