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.

Since my wife is also a vet we will be spending it at home together and enjoying the day as we remember our service commitment to the Air Force and to each other. We remember some of our friends on flying status with SAC. at Fairchild AFB that were lost in Viet Nam that have never been found. God rest their souls.

Took part in my first ceremony with my Legion post. Too much contention between the Legion and VFW here. Legion had their very first solo ceremony. I was part of the firing detail!

Spent time alone at home on my farm...just quiet time setting up Deer feeders and stands and working some areas up for hunting...that is my time away from everything and everybody. I know people mean well when they say "thank you for your service" but that has become so cliché that to be honest borders on my nerves and I just don't want hear it any more. Plus I want to honor those in my memory that came before me and served with me in my quiet special way. Quietly in the woods with God and nature.
