FREEDOM ISN'T FREE!
What Is A Veteran?
A 'Veteran' -- whether active duty, discharged, retired, or reserve --
is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made
payable to 'The United States of America,' for an amount of 'up to, and
including his life.' That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country today, who no longer understand that fact.
