Veterans Day for us, and Remembrance Day for our Canadian and Commonwealth friends. Both days are recognized on the same day, and both days are just as important to each others nations.
The Patriot Woodworker's would like to wish our Canadian and Commonwealth friends a memorable and thoughtful Remembrance Day this Tuesday, November 11th.
For more information on Remembrance Day please see Remembrance Day Wikipedia.

To our own veterans here in the U.S. The Patriot Woodworker's want to thank you for your service and sacrifices, many of you have returned home from conflict whole, and many of you have returned home wounded.
We can never repay our veterans for their service to our nation and our people, we stand on the shoulders of our veterans and active duty as we go about our daily lives living free and taking for granted the security and protections our veterans and active duty have afforded us. Without our military, we would be a nation under attack constantly, it is because of our service members we sleep soundly at night, knowing that the life we went to bed with, will be the same life we awake with. That same certainty cannot be guaranteed to our active duty and veterans alike. The lives of our active duty change daily, and the lives of some of our veterans contain memories and nightmares of their service and constant reminders of their own sacrifices in the form of physical scars and PTSD. Please know you are not forgotten!
Thank you Veterans!

 

In your comments below, if you served, how-about we all mention our own branch, job skill, time in service, and where.

Happy Veterans Day to all our friends who have served!

 

This about sums it all up, thank you Veterans!!!! And thank you to all Military, past and present.

 

Thank You!

Since John asked for it, 1978-82 USAF Reserves, Westover AFB in Chicopee MA, I was an aircraft electrical systems specialist. I was never called to active duty, did NOT have 180 days of active duty service, to entitle me to veteran status.
