This year Veterans Day falls on Thursday and the Federal Holiday is today. On Memorial Day the nation honors the war dead and on Veterans Day the nation honors those who served in the armed forces of the USA. We who served and who currently serve remember the war dead and our service throughout our lives.
Whatever your plans are, I hope that you all have a wonderful Veterans Day

I will be spending time with my family on Veterans Day. I intend to honor veterans throughout the day. I hope to spend some time with some older veterans this weekend. One of my nearby friends is a WWII Coast Guard veteran and another served in the early 1960s.
When I was younger and still in the Army I did my best to eat a few free meals on Veteran’s Day. Now that I am older I can at most eat two meals.
My darling wife and I will be dining at Applebee's restaurant on Thursday afternoon.
I intend to drive to the local Texas Roadhouse which 'will hand out dinner vouchers at the stores’ parking lots on November 11, from 11am to 2pm. Veterans and active-duty military can redeem their dinner vouchers when the restaurant opens for dinner, through May 30, 2022."

If I am up to it I will stop at Red Robin for a burger in the evening.

LTC Stephen F. We are at school. It was announced that only the juniors and seniors got to go JROTC Veterans Day program. I was well into second period when I saw the e-mail that was sent out that Veteran Teachers of freshmen and sophomore teachers could take their class to the program. That was a bummer! It was on a live feed so we got to see it in the classroom. It is also posted on youtube now.

I talked to the class about the importance of our military and their contribution to protect and keep our country safe.

Thank you my fellow warriors. God bless you and America..Rangers lead the way
