[QUOTE="Wolfeye, post: 506890, member: 29166"] You're welcome, from a Navy (82-88) and National Guard(93-94) vet. Hardest job I ever had wasn't the military - it was working for a draft dodger. Made our relationship interesting, to say the least. :) The huge irony in what is now called Veteran's Day comes from the fact that it was initially celebrated to mark the end of "The War to End All Wars". I'm sure there isn't a veteran alive who wouldn't happily give up all the parades, tributes, and recognition if only that war truly was the end of war. We humans have a long, long way to go. Let's hope we don't ruin the planet before we wake up to our greater destiny. Whatever that may be. :) [/QUOTE]
