>
> A "Thank You" to all the Veterans on the QuadList for your role in:
>
> The relative safety we enjoy in the United States
>
> The ability to think our own thoughts, speak our minds and not be punished
> for it
>
> To hear the opinions of others with the same freedom to listen
>
> The opportunity to create tangible items from our thoughts and benefit
> from that productivity
>
> Bringing the good things you learned in the service home with you and
> putting them into practice in civilian life.
>
> We hope that on this Veterans Day, you are blessed with good health, a
> good life, the love of the people you care for and that care for you.

> Most people think he's in his early to mid 70's.  He turned 97 on Oct. 12.
>  "Less than three years till I'm a hundred," is how he puts it now.

> A small number of men who survived the Dec. 7, 1941 explosion and fires

> others somewhere in the US, but we don't know who or where they are.
>
> So, on this Veterans Day, 2011...  We hope you all live as long and with
> good health. (Somebody's gotta keep the Quads running!)
