Do not forget to thank a Vet this weekend all
WWI vet? He must have been over 100 years old? Didn't think there were any of the doughboys left.
Dante, best to you bro, you are in the A.F. as I recall. Best to all of the RX'ers who served, past, present and future.
Thank you to all those veterans that have served and now are gone, to those that still live with both mental and physical injuries they sustained in service, to all those currently serving, both in and not in harms way.
I don't know the backgrounds of the RX staff, but want to thank any who are veterans and I may be wrong but believe Wil is one of them. I suspect he and I went through the same first draft lottery for the Vietnam War as we are the same age. Thanks Wil for serving in my place. At that time, my role was to bring you home as fast as possible.

and all the rest of you guys, and most of all my fellow GI`s. Too bad this admin. doesn`t feel the same, been going to the VAMC here in Mpls. for over 30 yrs. Just got my latest dose of "good" news. Seems the VA no longer has the funds to provide trans. to the hospital for those w/o family and are in a bad way $$$ wise. As of April 06 they`re SOL, the letter advised "to ask a relative or take public trans." These fu*kers don`t seem to realize that some guys have no families. Doesn`t affect me thank God as I have the resources, but not all do. What happened to the promises made?? There are so many little chickensh*t things they`ve done in the last 5 yrs, and the public is not aware of it. Such as, if you are asked to come out for a blood exam as a result of a svc. connected disaility and have to fast they used to give you a $3.00 meal ticket now that`s cut out too. Not much to us but to some it means a ton. Sorry guys just venting remember "all gave some, some gave all" BOL to everyone today.

Many thanks to all Veterans although thanks aint even close to what needs to be said... sacarifices were made in WW II, Vietnam, Middle E. etc. War is as brutal an invention that man has ever unleashed UPON ITSELF. What a waste of life, what horror man is capable of...awww shit today is a day to give thanks not preach but had to let off some steam. God bless

Thank you to my GrandFather who was a german POW in a concentration camp after the Battle of the Bulge. He was liberated about 6 months later at about 80-90 pounds and lived. He has more medals than the rest of us veterans in my family have earned. I am a Desert Storm vet who can't hold a candle to my PawPaw. The greatest generation for sure....God bless the USA, lets keep it free.
