* "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!" -- [[Anonymous]]
