Remembering The Veterans

November 11th, 2026

Joe understands a bunch of guys (and girls?) who served our country read this here site daily.

Today, as Joe does every year on Nov. 11, Veterans Day, Joe salutes you.  Not because you read this site (though Joe certainly appreciates that a great deal) but for what you did for the rest of us.

Thank you for your service.

And for those on active duty, thank you as well. Joe wishes you a safe return home someday, in one piece.

One of the Joes is a son of a man who served in the Pacific Theater in World War II and his ship blown out from under him by a kamikaze. Service men and women mean a lot to Joe.

Joe has a tradition each Veterans Day to go to either an American Legion hall or a VFW post, lay cash on the bar, and tell the bartender to buy a round of drinks. Then Joe will quickly walk out the door (partly because Joe cannot deal with the smoke).

You don’t have to buy a vet any drinks, but Joe is sure if you cross paths with a vet today, offering him or her a simple thanks would mean a lot.

Never forget.
