Yesterday was Veteran's Day as it is observed by the Banks & Government Institutions and so this last weekend I've seen a number of the "thank a Vet" posts across Facebook & the internet. This one, however, stuck out to me:
Adrian Cronauer, the actual radio DJ from
"Good Morning Vietnam" said: "It was not unknown when I yelled 'Good morning
Vietnam!' for some of the troops to turn to their radios and yell the
GI equivalent of 'Get stuffed, Cronauer!' and on one occasion a guy
picked up his M-16 and blew away his radio."
This Veteran's Day please thank the veterans you know for their sacrifices. Also thank the veteran supporters: the family & helpers of the veterans you hold dear. These supporters may have been one of the few things keeping your cherished veteran alive (or sane) so you could thank them.
