I wish that there was no such thing as war, the sacrifice is too great and the reward too little for the price paid. No one ever wins them, and in the end, everyone loses. Thanks anyway @Coach.

It's a bittersweet day for me as it was also my dad's birthday. When my sister and I were kids. Pops had us believing that all the ceremonies and gatherings on Veteran's Day were celebrating his birthday.

It is a double edged sword Sty. I think your job in the military was different and more tough than mine.

At the same time as a sailor I worked on weapon systems on F-14s. As a civilian I worked on FBM submarines and helped build a cable tester for DDG-51 class destroyers. They are like big toys. No war would be nice. Eventually it is going to be machines fighting machines.

Sorry @ that. Reminds me of my brother who has 4th of July as his birthday. Growing up in a small town they always threw a parade & in his early years he always thought it was for him.

Thoughts and prayers with you dad. It isn't easy but I consider serving my country the best part of my life. Thanks for your service.
