Also thanks to the veterans of our allies.

#322 in the draft lottery in 1971. Lucky me, although I wished I could have served, yours truly was not volunteering during that little meat grinder we had going on in SE Asia. A US flag flies over my property every day and a second one is raised on national holidays. Veterans have run up a debt that we civilians can never fully repay. Sincere thanks to all of you.

and my thanks

I also had a high lottery number and didn't serve in the Vietnam era, but I spent a lot of time telling the hippie protesters what a bunch of a**holes they were, if that counts.

Members of my family saw action at Trenton in the Revolutionary War (Hessians, unfortunately), fired the first shots from an artillery battery at the Confederate troops advancing on Gettysburg, fought at Verdun and came onto Omaha Beach on D+1. I have nothing but respect for the people who serve.
