Remembering The Veterans
November 11th, 2021
Joe understands there are a whole lot of guys (girls, too?) who served our country who read this here site daily.
Today, as Joe does every year, Joe salutes you. Not because you read this site (though Joe certainly appreciates that a great deal) but what you did for the rest of us. Thank you for your service. And for those who are still in uniform, a hearty thank you as well and wishing you a safe return home someday.
That’s sadly not a given considering events in recent months.
The two Joes are sons of men who served in the Pacific Theater in World War II under very different circumstances, but both with the same purpose and goal. Service men and women mean a lot to Joe.
As Joe does every year, Joe will go to either an American Legion hall or a VFW post today, lay cash on the bar, and tell the bartender to buy a round of drinks. Then Joe will quickly walk out the door.
You don’t have to buy a vet any drinks, but Joe is sure if you meet a vet today, offering a simple thanks would mean a lot.
Never forget.

Happy Veterans Day. I’m very thankful for the brave men and woman who do/did what I didn’t have the guts to do. People even put down Pete Boot Edge Edge for not being in combat but the man still did what I wouldn’t do and I respect each and every one of you.
Thank you!

I’m an ex-Army Medic and I thank Joe for this stirring tribute. It made me smile. Thank you to all the vets past and present who contribute to ensuring our rights and freedoms remain intact. In fact, the most respect I can offer to our vets is to render a snappy salute: SALUTE!!!

The guys who do the dirty work.

It is mostly all “dirty work”. Some dirtier than other work. But all honorable and necessary to defend our country.
