May we all take a few moments to remember all the veterans who secured the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity. There are over 19 million veterans in the US.

I agree with gpainter -- thanks and God bless to all veterans and current military folks out there. If you worked with me today you'd get some homemade chocolate cake as a small token of thanks.

Egads.....That's tough to beat, Jarhead! We are all going to look like Kitty Cruisers compared to you. And, I bet you don't even have the day off! You can call me Squidley. So far, we have two marines and a Sea-Going Airdale.

Semper Fi and Happy Birthday to you Randy.
