Thank you/you're welcome dave! I'd like to add my thanks as well to all of you who have, are, or will be serving our country. Also, you spouses of vets, thank you very much. You all probably go through more than us vets. :-)

As a veteran, I really appreciate seeing posts like these, especially in my home state. I signed up for the Marine Corps a couple of months before the start of the Iraq war because of September 11th. I was visiting home in the Seattle Area right after the invasion started (I was waiting for my job school to start) and all of the anti war sentiment really bothered me.
So reading posts from a business who are just up the road from where I make my home now (Tri-Cities), really lightens my day. So thank you very much.

Thanks to you all brave warriors, my brothers in arms.
I too enlisted just after 9/11, the Marine Corps took me right away, they knew very well we needed to build up our ranks for what was to come. I was working at the airport in San Jose, CA when the towers came down. I vividly remember the anger and the thirst for justice I felt that day.
Behind every service man/woman there are many more family members and friends whom also feel the pain and sacrifice of a deployment. YOU are the unsung heroes that stay behind in the home front. Thank you as well for the sacrifice you make everyday.

Yes
To all of our past service members, and the current young brave men and women who volunteer to make my life free, thank you for everything you have done for myself and my family. I have one 27 year old friend of my son who was at Saddam's compound when they took control of it, and lost a leg and a lot of other of the things we take for granted when his ride, a Stryker, was blown in half. He was a gunner on a Bradley, but was working with another group when his life changed.
Another of my son's Mopar friends from my little town unfortunately didn't cope well and ended his life at home after serving 2 tours, dam all I saw was a happy kid who thanked me back every time I shook his hand and thanked him.
Thank you, my brave saviors.
Allen

I was working at the airport in San Jose, CA when the towers came down. I vividly remember the anger and the thirst for justice I felt that day. I wasn't as much angry as I was in shock for the next four to five days, I was pretty much out of it. But I knew it was time to aid the cause. I live in the greatest country there is and it was paid for by blood, sweat, and tears of extremely brave and patriotic men and women. I was lucky enough to leave the Corps unscathed, but I am fortunate enough to have a sense of paying my dues for freedom. Now, I can't wait until I have all of my funds saved up to pay for my desire to send rounds down range with my custom build. Thanks again for everyone who was willing to serve.

As a veteran, I also really appreciate seeing posts like these. All to often our country sends people to wars and forgets about them. I feel funny when people stop me on the street to thank me, when in uniform, but it's all good.

What is odd is the random hugs at the airport. :-P We feel the love, and we appreciate it. :-)

Realizing that this was posted last year, I am not sure any one is still reading. But I will say that it is a hell of a lot better than having surplus food items thrown at you while walking across a college campus, or having your girl friend decide she can no longer talk to you because you enlisted which makes you a volunteer baby killer. It hurts to lose these kids over seas. But their suicide rate at home is unbearable. If you have been thru something your self; please try and walk with those that are having difficulty. They need a lot more than a hug and a kind word to make the world right for them again.
Just sayin Paul

It is refreshing to see a company that does respect those who have and are wanting to serve.. I joined in 1977 at the tender young age of 17 lol at the time the Iranians were holding Americans hostage. Thanks again Attachments:

I wanted to bring this thread back up and let the Veterans know that you're appreciate and respected on more than just our country's holidays. My dad and uncles served in Vietnam, my brother a tour on the line in Korea, another brother in the Persian Gulf.
You've paid a debt we(citizens) owe to our forefathers and you've paid in spades for us to continue to be who and where we are...and you've done it selflessly.
Thank You.
