Default OT To all Vets

Hi All,
A simple Thank You to the our Vets seems so inadequate. Mere words can't
describe my feelings of gratitude for your service and sacrifice. I (we)
owe you a debt that can't be repaid in coin or treasure.

My father served in WW 2 II as a combat photographer. North Africa,
Sicily, France, Normandy/ He processed film on Normandy Beach as the
artillery burst around him. He chronicled the liberation of Nordhaussen
that vile death camp, The foul treatment of the prisoners by the Nazis.
Shot pictures of razed villages and burned tanks, Photos of freed Jews
at Dachau. Journeled the Ramagen bridge, and the Battle of The Bulge.

Thank You Dad. Thank you for allowing me to speak english as my primary
language. Thank you for the Flag I raise in the front yard.

Someday, I will obtain a scanner and post some of his remarkable
photographs for the world to see.

All I can say is Thanks, Thanks for my freedom, Thanks for my rights,
Thanks for keeping the United States a free country. Most of all, Thank
You for our Peace and Security this nation has much known for the past
60 years.

Capt. Frank

Although the arguments here vary wildy, although a lot of us don't
agree with a lot of others, I'd like to take this opportunity to wish
all veterans of military service a happy Veteran's Day, whatever that
may entail. Your service to your country has gone unnoticed by too
many.
