Happy Veteran's Day to anyone who has served.  Hope you have today off to celebrate however you see fit.

Thank you for your service jimmer, Chief, and everyone else on here that is a veteran!

This is somewhat Veteran's Day related, but if you're looking for something to do, I highly recommend going to see Hacksaw Ridge in theaters.... It was one of the best movies I've seen in a long time.

Thanks to all who serve, and who have served.

 

My family were farmers during the wars of the last century, thanks also to those that fed us.

Does he die in the end? (PM me so as not to spoil it.)

Sent a more detailed PM to Chi about this, but the quick synopsis without spoilers.... 

Very well done movie. Andrew Garfield was brilliant acting as Desmond Doss and made the story and his beliefs real. Well done battlefield scenes, and throughout the movie brought on romance, comedy, and drama. I was engaged throughout the entire film.

Can't remember the last time I was inspired to see a movie in a theater... Or the last time a movie kept me thinking about it after leaving the theater. This is one of those movies.

But not to get us side-tracked and become a movie thread, and back to the OP ... thank you Vets for your service!

Thank you veterans.

Thank you veterans.

Do you look in a mirror when you say that?

[USAFChief]

Do you look in a mirror when you say that?

Yes...but that's deceptive. I look in the mirror a lot.

In reality, while I'm proud of my service, it pales in comparison to so many, who have given so much more than me.

 

So I say again, thank you.
