I've met two types of Veterans...







Today we honor American veterans for their service during wars throughout our nation's history. But if your idea of an American veteran doesn't include those who fought for freedom under different flags, you may be overlooking some of the hardest-fighting soldiers of all.



Our own Veterans are from all over this big beautiful world we live in. How cool is that?

I found this related items notice on Facebook. Compare Obama and Bush's likes. How the hell did the Republicans win? The Democrats should have compared Bush to Obama in the last election.
