I thought perhaps we should have a little tribute to those who've served, those currently serving, and those yet to serve. 

To those veterans of the armed forces everywhere, who've experienced battle and paid the ultimate price....

We remember.  God bless you and RIP.

To those veterans of the armed forces everywhere (including some of our POE friends), we thank you and honor your service and....

We remember.

To those currently serving in armed forces everywhere, and for the great sacrifices you are currently making for the cause of peace and freedom, prayers are winging their way to heaven for your protection and safe return to your loved ones.  We thank you and....

We remember.

I just thought we should have a thread to thank our vets and pay them tribute.  Post a tribute here, if you're so inclined, and maybe pick a photo - a poppy, a soldier, a war memorial.

Thank you for adding this Ruth, I thought last night as I shut down that I must remember to do this this morning, and then forgot.

This beautiful image entitled "Never Forget" I think says it all. 

We really cannot afford to forget what our military personnel, both past and present, have suffered so that we can live the way we are doing now and hopefully, the way our children and grandchildren will be able to live.
