All gave some; some gave all.
I did my 4 years and got out. I often wish I would have stayed in. Hind sight is so much better..;)
It's okay if you can't remember who we fought. Just remember who fought for you
Originally called the Columbia-Wrightsville Bridge, because it connects the two towns across the Susquehanna River in south central Pennsylvania, this bridge, constructed from 1929-1930, is still the world's longest concrete multiple-arch bridge.

Today is Veteran's Day in the United States, a federal holiday observed annually on November 11 for honoring military veterans who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces. Veterans Day celebrates the service of all U.S. military veterans, and is distinct from Memorial Day, celebrated in May, which honors those who have died while in military service. Veterans Day in the U.S. is celebrated on the same day as Armistice Day or Remembrance Day in other countries.
This shot was taken several years ago at the Great Lakes National Cemetery, near Holly, Michigan. Thanks to all who have served. May we never forget their sacrifices.
our deepest gratitude and condolences for the losses and sacrifices of so many, in the hopes of making this a better world.
we thank you, and as always,
we pray for peace.
Happy Veteran's Day!
A salute on this special day to our veterans, past and present, who sacrificed for America and Canada. Happy Veterans Day and Canadian Remembrance Day!
May we never forget. And may someday peace reign and rule forever (one can dream.....).
This old veteran still managed to cruise by with the rest of the squadron to roost for the night. Hats off but I think it maybe the last season for this one. Looking on line it says they live for several decades in the wild. So this guy maybe older than me. Will keep an eye out for this old soul of the sky.
A tribute to America's Veterans.
I recall a commentary David Brinkley did many years ago from Arlington National Cemetery. He said the next President who decides to send Americans into harms way should make the announcement from Arlington.

Thankful for ALL VETERANS
THANK YOU for everything you do for our country and our freedom! Today and every day we thank Veterans everywhere for their service! There aren't enough words to show our gratitude for all the troops who served our country. To all Veterans out there, we honor, respect, and support you!

Set against the cool, dark waters of the Seguin River, CN's Veterans Tribute locomotive 3233 looks sharp as it guides train no. 108 through Parry Sound, Ontario.
Ab dem Jahr 1986 läuteten die Triebwagen der Reihe 628 auf vielen nicht elektrifizierten Haupt- und Nebenbahnen ein neues Zeitalter im Nahverkehr der Bundesrepublik ein. Mit Wirtschaftlichkeit und betrieblicher Zuverlässigkeit haben die Schienenbusnachfolger einen signifikanten Beitrag zum Fortbestehen der ein oder anderen Nebenbahn geleistet.
Nach teilweise über 30 Jahren Betriebseinsatz sind jedoch vor allem die 628.2, die ersten in Serie produzierten Triebwagen dieser Baureihe, am Ende ihrer Nutzungsdauer angelangt. Viele 628.2 haben bereits ihre letzte Reise zum Schrotthändler angetreten.
So ist es im Jahr 2018 inzwischen schwer geworden, diese alten Veteranen im Nahverkehr noch vor die Linse zu bekommen. Eine Möglichkeit ergab sich weit im Süden zwischen Friedrichshafen und Lindau, als 628 278 (Abnahmedatum 12.09.1988) am 11.11.2018 fleißig seine Runden auf der Bodenseegürtelbahn drehte. Als RB 22727 befährt er den Lindauer Bodenseedamm und wird gleich den Endbahnhof erreichen.
A veteran GP38-2 led the CP G13 to Searsport today, in the form of CP 3108. Mismatched numberboards, worn paint, yellow pilot stripe, and the golden beaver all add character to this unit, setting it apart from the trailing GP20C-ECOs. After a mainly cloudy chase south, it was nice to get some sun as they worked inside the yard limits at Searsport.
We Take The Time, To Say THANK-YOU Today !!!
You Shall Never Be Forgotten !!
Thank-You So Much For Your Service ...
You Truly Are A Hero !! And We Thank-You So Much !

Veteran "W Class" tram 854 is seen clanking across the La Trobe Street bridge on a Route 30 service to St Vincent's Plaza. The W Class trams are increasingly unpopular with Melbourne residents, and as such are relegated to minor routes and peak hour services.

Paprihaven extends our heartfelt gratitude to all the men and women who have served to protect the freedoms we hold dear!

Veterans Day 2018
Happy Veterans Day to all the Veterans and my father in law Ken and Brian Christiansen.
It's important to take a moment to thank the veterans. Their valor and honor made this country what it is.
Thank you.
If you cherish your freedoms, thank a veteran! FlyFisherMike and I spotted this Bald Eagle as soon as we drove into Mallard Lake within Big Lake WMA near Manila, Arkansas.
