Being a younger guy I feel that many in my (and the younger) generations don't appreciate this day as it should be. I feel lucky and proud that both of my parents are retired military and extremely proud to be able to say my Dad was a bugler at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier for 25 years. I spent a lot of days there in the Summer. Although I am not military it influenced my life positively just by being around it as a kid. It gave me a huge respect to all who serve and those who gave their lives to give us what we have today.

With the times we are going through right now it makes me even prouder that I understand these things and haven't turned into one of those hipster, anti-American dumbass that is contributing to ruin this country.

Thank you to the guys here on the forum who have served and are currently serving and thanks to all the other veterans and active military personnel.
