Happy Veterans Day today Friday 11/11/2011
To all of our fallen brothers, may god allow your family members to have peace in their life and to all the Veterans, thank you, I served my country and I serve my flag every day
Today I took all of my worn withered Flags from the Inn to the VFW post here in Marathon to be properly disposed of as I do every year, for the past 8 years, I then toss a couple of hundred US Dollars in the jug for the support and needs of the local VFW, God I hope when I reach the age of some of the vets that I chatted and drank with today, when I get that age, I hope that I still will have a place that I can fell welcomed at.
After I left the VFW I went to the Sunset Grille where the owner had a very nice tribute for our fallen soldiers and provided a great meal at no charge to active and past vets.
Then it was closed out by a nice firework display that was put on by an ex Zambelli Pyro Tech to salute our past and present protectors of our country.
All in all It turned out to be a pretty decent 11/11/11 today and God Bless our troops and may they come home safe.
