I was looking for a thread of thanks to the TBH veterans, but didn't see one, so I hope it's OK for me to chime in on this one and say thank you from the many of us who didn't serve. Without y'all's willingness to sacrifice it all, we wouldn't have the freedoms we currently enjoy. May God bless our military, past, present and future.Comment
