Veterans in a nutshell

I reserve my respect for Veterans, Police and Fire Fighters, Rescue Workers, and others who routinely sacrifice, devote themselves or place themselves in harms way for others.  It doesn't mean I don't respect other people of course.  And there are some in those groups who can lose my respect, but they have to work mighty hard for that to happen.

With that said, a tribute to veterans everywhere from one who came to symbolize not only everything we respected about the WWII generation, but everything we respect about Veterans period.
