My Father, My Eldest Half Brother and My Full Brother are all Vetrans, I thank them all, and I thank All you Family Members for their dilligent service. Though "Happy" Vetran's Day dosen't sound quite right. *Shrug* Thank you!

This song was written by Terry Kelly who was touched by a store's leadership to take 2 minutes of silence on Remembrance Day and his anger when a father and little daughter trying to engage a conversation with a store clerk during the 2 minutes.
There is a video for this , if anyone is interested

They fought and some died for their homeland
They fought and some died now it’s our land
Look at his little child, there’s no fear in her eyes
Could he not show respect for other dads who have died?

Take two minutes, would you mind?
It’s a pittance of time
For the boys and the girls who went over
In peace may they rest, may we never forget why they died.
It’s a pittance of time

God forgive me for wanting to strike him
Give me strength so as not to be like him
My heart pounds in my breast, fingers pressed to my lips
My throat wants to bawl out, my tongue barely resists

But two minutes I will bide
It’s a pittance of time
For the boys and the girls who went over
In peace may they rest, may we never forget why they died.
It’s a pittance of time

Read the letters and poems of the heroes at home
They have casualties, battles, and fears of their own
There’s a price to be paid if you go, if you stay
Peace is fought for and won n numerous ways

Take two minutes would you mind?
It’s a pittance of time
For the boys and the girls all over
May we never forget our young become vets
At the end of the line it’s a pittance of time

It takes courage to fight in your own war
It takes courage to fight someone else’s war
Our peacekeepers tell of their own living hell
They bring hope to foreign lands that the hatemongers can’t kill.

Take two minutes, would you mind?
It’s a pittance of time
For the boys and the girls who go over
In peacetime our best still don battle dress
And lay their lives on the line.
It’s a pittance of time

In Peace may they rest, lest we forget why they died.
Take a pittance of time

My mother served in WWII as did her brother. I wish she was still with us so that I could thank her. So a big thanks to all the WWII vets, what a different world it would be without all their sacrifices.

Thank you will never be adequate for what I feel for all of the veterans that have fought and especially those who've died. Therefore let me say that I am honored daily to be in the presence of our vets. I hope you have a great day!!!

God Bless the Veterans. Thanks for all you have done to preserve our freedoms and to protect our country from those who would do us harm. And thanks to the present military who carry on this tradition of service.

Thank you, Dad.

I just wanted to share a little something. My 6 1/2 yr old niece came to dinner on Monday. Before she would say hello to me, she had something to give to her Papa--a special card she made for him for Veteran's Day. It was decorated with flags & inside she had a message: "Thank you Papa for being so brave & being a soldier".
