> WHAT IS A VET?
>
> Some veterans bear visible signs of their service: a missing
> limb, a jagged scar, a certain look in the eye.
>
> Others may carry the evidence inside them: a pin holding a bone
> together, a piece of shrapnel in the leg - or perhaps another
> sort of inner steel: the soul's ally forged in the refinery of
> adversity.
>
> Except in parades, however, the men and women who have kept
> America safe wear no badge or emblem.
>
> You can't tell a vet just by looking.

> What is a vet?
>
> She - or he- is the cop on the beat who spent six months in Saudi Arabia
>
> sweating two gallons a day making sure the armored personnel
> carriers didn't run out of fuel.
>
> She - or he - is the nurse who fought against futility and went
> to sleep sobbing every night for two solid years in Da Nang.
>
> He is the POW who went away one person and came back another -
> or didn't come back AT ALL.
>
> He -or she- is the Quantico drill instructor who has never seen combat
>
> but has saved countless lives by turning slouchy, no-account
> people into Marines, and taught them to watch each other's backs.
>
> He -or she- is the parade - riding Legionnaire who pins on his ribbons
> and medals with a prosthetic hand.
>
> He -or she- is the career quartermaster who watches the ribbons and
> medals pass him by.
>
> He is the three anonymous heroes in The Tomb Of The Unknowns,
> whose presence at the Arlington National Cemetery must forever
> preserve the memory of all the anonymous heroes whose valor dies
> unrecognized with them on the battlefield or in the ocean's
> sunless deep.
>
> He is the old guy bagging groceries at the supermarket -
> palsied now and aggravatingly slow - who helped liberate a Nazi
> death camp and who wishes all day long that his wife were still
> alive to hold him when the nightmares come.
>
> He -or she-is an ordinary and yet an extraordinary human being - a
> person who offered some of his life's most vital years in the
> service of his country, and who sacrificed his ambitions so
> others would not have to sacrifice theirs.
>
> He -or she- is a soldier and a savior and a sword against the darkness,
> and he is nothing more than the finest, greatest testimony on
> behalf of the finest, greatest nation ever known.
>
> So remember, each time you see someone who has served our
> country, just lean over and say "Thank You". That's all most
> people need, and in most cases it will mean more than any medals they
> could have been awarded or were awarded.
>
> Two little words that mean a lot, "THANK YOU".
>
> Remember November 11th is "Veterans Day"

> "It is the soldier, not the reporter,
> Who has given us freedom of the press.
> It is the soldier, not the poet,
> Who has given us freedom of speech.
> It is the soldier, not the campus organizer,
> Who has given us the freedom to demonstrate.
> It is the soldier,
> Who salutes the flag,
> Who serves beneath the flag,
> And whose coffin is draped by the flag,
> Who allows the protestor to burn the flag."
