Happy Vets Day

[WZ JUNK]

God Bless America

Last night I went to the College of the Ozarks where I heard Tom Brokaw speak about the greatest generation.  It was a very moving evening.  He recognized several veterans in the audience and presented some awards along with his speech.  I saw some real heros.  One man's story, he was a POW 3 different times in the same war.  I can not imagine what some of the people endured.  I do appreciate their service and sacrifice.  My tour was a walk in the park compared to these guys.

I would like to add my sincere "Thanks" to everyone who has served our country.I tried to enter the Naval Academy out of high school but was determined to be a physical reject   I did not serve but many of the previous generation,including my Dad,were career military so I am very aware of the sacrifices made.I will be attending the University of Nebraska football game tomorrow....The stadium should be full of Veterans as this year they implemented a program where people donated their tickets to "Thank a Vet"! I'm sure they have some special things planned to show our appreciation!

This is one holiday that I enjoy getting off work. Most every year I spend a part of the day at a friend's auto salvage yard, and today was no exception. I've never had it too bad, but after 4 years active duty, 24 years national guard, 5 trips to the middle east including getting activated for the first Gulf War when my wife was pregnant, I feel I deserve the day off.
