Let's not wait until the next Veteran's Day, Memorial Day, or the Fourth of July

Here is an awesome tribute to those that have served in combat, those who have served their country in harms way, and in my opinion even that have served in peacetime. Peacetime military members that served during the "Cold War" that stood ready should be remember as "Just a Common Soldier"!

I hope that you feel the same way and treat all veterans, retirees, reserve, and active duty soldiers that haven't been in a combat situations as our military forces rate of deployment and operational tempo starts to come down throughout our armed forces. They will continue to stand ready and protect our country for the next war! No one should ever be forgotten!

Many have heard this over the last 25 years for known as "A Soldier Died Today"

Many will disagree with my assessment, but that's okay. That's the freedom of speech we exercise - thanks COL B (Retired)

We should always honor and give thanks to those who are and have served. As we all know if it wasn't for their sacrifices and the sacrifices of their families we couldn't enjoy the lives we do now.

I'm of the same opinion...

For example; why do we wait until Father's day, Mother's day, Valentines day etc to honor these people? It should be done on a daily basis.
