In honor of all my fellow Veterans, please visit this site and download the video and song. Be sure to have kleenex handy, it even brings tears to this crusty old Vets eyes.

Never give in, never give in, never, never, never, never, in nothing, great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense. - Winston Churchill
“A veteran - whether active duty, retired, national guard, or reserve - is someone who, at one point in his or her life, wrote a blank check made payable to The 'United States of America', for an amount of 'up to and including my life.'” (Author unknown)

I stood up, I showed up, I stepped forward. I raised my right hand, I stood in the gap, I walked in the fire. I did not run, I did not hide, I did not dodge, I did not evade.
Consequently...
I have nothing to prove, no one to convince, those who matter, already know. Those who don't, never will. (Author Unknown)

--I sent you an e-mail, just so you don't think it is junk mail and delete it, it will be shown as from Canuck America. I think you will find it interesting.
That "Pittance of Time" reminds me, each year, of those who didn't come home with me from Korea these 55 years ago. I'm grateful that you posted it.

Dennis, thank you for going before me. I grew up seeing you guys as the heroes you are.
Any thinks on this should go to Terry Kelly for writing and performing this. I tear up watching and listening to it as I recall the 13 from my unit in Viet Nam that didn't come back.
