I served; however, that is not what we commemorate today. We honor those, like your Uncle, that paid the ultimate sacrifice, so that we may act like children on this message board.

We will celebrate your Grandfathers and all who served on Veterans Day.

No disrespect to the OP and I applaud the sentiment of the thread.

None taken. My wife said the same this morning: This is for those who have served and passed...not the current ones. I've been of the opinion over the past few years that it has been co-opted into another Veteran's Day. And in my mind there is nothing wrong with acknowledging their service twice a year...at least.
