Thank You Speedlimit, It still seems strange for veterans to receive positive recognition. Just in the last few years we seem to be popular. I received a few free meals on veterans day and discounts at Home Depot etc. Anyway I will shut up. Thank You for your service to all my fellow vets out there.
