PARDON MY FRENCH
photo and unapologetic sentiments by Buck Sargent
You cannot escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today.
-Abraham Lincoln
On this Veterans Day I'd like to take this opportunity to offer thanks to the countless Americans who came before us; who wore the uniform, charged a hill, walked a post, flew a sortie, trained a recruit or bandaged a wound.
My generation is honored to follow where your boots once tread.

If you've just read this in English, thank a veteran.
In French, thank an American.
In Japanese, Polish, Korean, Arabic, German, Dutch, Dari, Italian, Hungarian, Spanish, Pashto, Czech...
I think you get the point.
Echoed.

As a thirty year soldier (now retired) this is an off handed sentiment shared by many of your commrades in arms. I have a son in Iraq stationed in the same area I was for two tours and his exact exclaimation was just that when he discovered that he was being sent over with the 3-187, Raakasans, 101st Airborne (AA)and is a very pround Infantryman! Go get 'em!
