As you enjoy your long weekend, ponder these words.

A veteran is someone who, at one point in his/her life wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America' for an amount of 'up to and including my life.'

That is Honor

I don't know about "honor" when you're 19 years old, but that was when I went in, did my six years, got out at twenty five in 1983. Had some fun, still miss a few buddies, but overall I can live without the petty day to day bullshit of peacetime military existence.
