My dad was a Veteran, too. I'll have to get a pic scanned so I can put it here. I am so thankful to those both past and present that have insured our freedom. So many people abuse and take that for granted. They just don't realise that our freedom is a great treasure.
My Brian is also a Veteran and here's a pic he sent to me. He really loves his country and spends a lot of his personal time helping Veterans and even some that are in the service now. He likes to joke about me collecting antiques He was and still is a very handsome man.

So, thanks to all who have helped keep this our country great. You are so appreciated. Great thread!
