If you know a Veteran don't say anything just give them a smile....and a nod
That means a lot .... We don't ask for much more

Was just trying to give everybody a little bit of a heads up that Veterans Day is coming it be nice if you know of a veteran and you could plan something a little early maybe if your father mom brother or sister are veterans or service their country maybe you could send them something or take them out to dinner plan ahead but all of you want to just think about now and yourselves so you self-centered assholes just go about your way and let those think a little bit ahead and plan do their thing

I had my first free meal last year. My daughter talked me into going to Bob Evans with my grandkids so they could see the soldiers.
I will have to admit I was very moved by the veterans and the active duty soldiers that showed up. It was very nice to see the history of wars in their eyes. I would have love to talk to some of them....
I will most likely go to Olive Garden with the wife tomorrow for dinner, we are going out to buy a new gas stove and refrig that matches. it's time to replace the old and bring in the new an do one remodeling in the kitchen.

Veterans Day is always well done in our schools. I greatly enjoy how touching they always are. Our high school program tomorrow will be highlighted by awarding a 92 year old WW2 vet an honorary high school diploma as he left for the war in 1942 and couldn't finish his senior year.

I support veterans. I don't support veterans that think they are better than anyone else because they served. Luckily those are far from common in my experience, but still the few seem to stand out.

This week's podcast is in honor of Veterans Day. We sat down with two soldiers, one from the Greatest Generation, (thanks to Belly!), and one from the Millennial Generation. Its interesting to hear what they had to say. Link: goo.gl/vH7gvZ

Have to give a big shout out to many in my family: Grandpa (Army), Cousin (82nd airborne), Uncle (Coast Guard) and last and not least, my lil brother who was a bad ass SEAL.
