Indeed. Thank a vet today. It’s by their efforts & sacrafice that we as fans get to enjoy
& embrace all of what is great about America!

And here’s something to kinda put a sly smile on your face: if somehow the going gets tough, there’s a CK war chest of, shall we say, “special” plays, intact, ready to go. We haven’t even come CLOSE to having to use this forgotten arsenal.

Absolutely.

There’s a History Channel special on right now on battles of WWII. Amazing stuff. If you’re wanting some knowledge this Thursday, check it out.

And veteran's families

I echo the thanks we are giving to veteran’s this day. But I also want to give a shout out to the families of veterans and recognize their sacrifices. I lost a nephew who was serving in the US Army this summer. Although I feel a tremendous loss, that is nothing to the heart-wrenching sorrow that my brother, sister-in-law, and niece are going through.

So to all those who serve our country in the military and their families.

Thank YOU...

Thanks to all of you for realizing that today means something. Take it from me: telling veterans and current service members that you appreciate their service is appreciated.

I always like to pull this photo out on days like this for a little perspective…

There are no words that can describe the gratitude of a nation for those who risk their lives every day to defend our freedoms. Many thanks to the service men and women and their families who make sacrifices every day.

thank you for thanking us

As a Viet Nam vet, you all make me feel special today, and there is a lot to be said for feeling special. Anybody want to know anything about my war?

been down so long, it looks like up to me.

Thank you to all the vets, all the people in the armed forces

Stay safe, all of you. A particular shout to stay safe to the women in the armed forces (a very, very large fraction of whom have experienced rape and harassment). Stay safe, all of you, especially my friends whom I miss.

Today, MCD deserves a keg sticker.

Thanks to all of you as well.

I mean listen, we’re sitting here talking about rankings, not a game, not a game, not a game, but we’re talking about rankings.

Who have served and are serving in the US military.
You are the reason we are the home of the free.

From one Vet to another.

I would like to thank all of you that have served and are serving now. I know the sacrifices we all have made and it makes me proud to be part of a such a great group.

Thank you.
