I'll be thinking of my grandpa who passed last year and served in the Navy in WWII and my brother in-law and many friends that are in or have served. But mostly I won't be thinking about anything because I'm getting another shoulder surgery on Monday so I'll be unconscious or sedated with painkillers.

Fun RDI fact: Summer after i graduated high school I set a meeting with a Marine recruiter. I waited an hour and he never showed up so I took it as a sign to not enlist.

Aultman North actually. Just be in for the surgery then get to go home. Not a big deal procedure really. Except for the nerve blocker because some dude shoving a giant fucking needle in your neck is kinda scary.

I love that our government employees honor our veterans hard work and sacrifice by giving themselves a day off. I'll be working, and thinking more about the psyche of the future veterans who are currently overseas and being asked to do ridiculous things on a daily basis for no good reason other than to help the stock prices of a few corporations.

Doing very well since they changed his medicines around. He has been doing everything like normal and remembering things that he normally was forgetting. Over all I am happy with how he is doing as of right now.

Thanks for asking Belly. How have you and your family been?

While I don't necessarily disagree with you, you suck as a poster, and probably as a person.

Big Hoyaah to my little brother who served 4 tours in 6 years as a Navy SEAL. I know one was in Iraq, but the other three were pretty much off the radar.
Also a big shoutout to quite a few of my buddies in our unit who mostly were in Iraq, and a few just came home from Afghanistan.

I don't have anyone in my family who is a veteran, but I do appreciate their service. If you're not on the front lines, you're still just a phone call away.

I have always had a question that maybe you smarter OCers can answer.

Those who are in the military but never have been on a deployment yet......should veterans day hold any special "courtesies" to them as well as those who have served? O
