Thank you to my uncle (my father's brother), who served 30 years in the Navy.

Thank you to my brother, who served 20 years in the Navy.

And thank you to my grandmother, who helped build ships in Bremerton, Washington, during World War II.

To everyone who has served our nation in the military and as support personnel, and to all the families who have made sacrifices:

Thank you!!

Two words: Thank you Mr. President!

If it wasn't for the great sacrifices of the many men and women through the years, we would not have the freedoms we take for granted today. Today it does not matter if we are Democrat or Republican, or one of the many other parties, we are united under one memory-the memory of the fallen soldiers that have given their lives to protect ours. We should take time to thank them more than one day a year, but it is a start.

God bless them and keep them.

I respect and admire our vets and those currently serving in our military. It takes a person with a special quality to go in and risk life and limb in the process of protecting that or those they are told to protect. Not everyone is up to that level of commitment.

Thank you Vets! May God bless and always protect you.

We finally have a Commander in Chief who takes his role seriously, and treats our troops with respect. We all owe the veterans for our freedom, and Obama gets it.
