Thank You for Serving
You may have served during WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Persian Gulf, Iraq, Afghanistan, the Cold-war or during the Global War on Terrorism. You may have served in Combat or in a non-combat role. BUT YOU SERVED, you did not run.
You may have retired out or you may have served for a short time. You may have been a draftee or a volunteer. You may have served in the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, Coast Guard, National Guard, or the Merchant Marines, BUT YOU SERVED.
You did not run off to the comfort of foreign soil. YOU DID YOUR JOB HONORABLY and for that we are PROUD to call you Brother.
You have a DD 214 with those words "HONORABLY DISCHARGED", the two most noble words in the world.
Again, we are proud to know each and every one of you.
To the men and women that have touched the lives of others: Here's to you!!
I was never a hero, but I am thankful and proud to have served among them.
A real Brother walks with you, so come join OUR Band of Brothers,
VETERANS of FOREIGN WARS
of the UNITED STATES
