Veterans Day

My Grandfather (rest in peace) was in the US army in WWII, not on the front lines or anything, too bad he was not given the opportunity to kick some Nazi ass but his assignment was certainly safer, but regardless he was sent overseas away from his wife, my grandmother, away from his business, parents, brothers,sisters - his life. Knowing him I doubt he complained, he probably felt it was an honor and his duty - thats the kind of guy he was - damn I wish I was like that. Thats my closest connection to a serviceman/woman.
Just thought it right to think about him today (even though I do almost everyday - and wish I could talk to him).

To all the Veterans - I salute you and thanks.
