Veteran's Day

[MikeS]

Hi all

I hope everybody here takes just a minute sometime today to think about and remember our nation's Veterans, who gave so much in service of our country, and also for all those still serving who are in harm's way...

I'm a Veteran and proud of it, and to fellow Veteran's here on this forum, thank you!
