Happy Veterans Day

[JacketFan]

To all the Veterans on here, I would like to say thank you for your unwavering service to this great nation.  Without you guys we would not have the right to get on here and speak freely, or have all the other freedoms that we take for granted daily.  So from the bottom of my heart, Thank you for your service.

There are several on the 5A board that are veterans - I appreciate all they have done for our country as well. I think JacketFan's post says it well. I will endorse it, even though he's from Wynne.

Grill - even though Vilonia is terrible at pretty much everything, we all support you, especially today!
