Veterans Day 2008
« on: November 05, 2008, 11:01:34 PM »
Just so I don't forget to say this here, I want to take this time to say a big THANK YOU!!!! to the men & women who defended this STILL great country and made it possible for people like me to live a good life. Whether it was the Marines, Army, Navy, Coast Guard and the others who protects us all, I sincerely appreciate what was done for me, my family and for all of us. I haven't forgotten, I will not allow my children to forget and I will do what I can to always support our veterans.

God Bless the USA!  God Bless our Veterans! God protect the men and women who protect us!

THANK YOU!

You're welcome, and thank you to the rest of the guys and gals.
""It may be laid down as a primary position, and the basis of our system, that every Citizen who enjoys the protection of a free Government, owes not only a proportion of his property, but even his personal services to the defence of it, and consequently that the Citizens of America (with a few legal and official exceptions) from 18 to 50 Years of Age should be borne on the Militia Rolls, provided with uniform Arms, and so far accustomed to the use of them, that the Total strength of the Country might be called forth at a Short Notice on any very interesting Emergency." - George Washington.

With the election going the way it did it's important to remember, our Veterans serve "We the people" not an administration. They serve to defend America, not a particular regime.

Thank you Veterans.
"I expect perdition, I always have. I keep this building at my back, and several guns handy, in case perdition arrives in a form that's susceptible to bullets. I expect it will come in the disease form, though. I'm susceptible to diseases, and you can't shoot a damned disease." ~ Judge Roy Bean, Streets of Laredo

For the Patriots of this country, the Constitution is second only to the Bible for most. For those who love this country, but do not share my personal beliefs, it is their Bible. To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison

As a Veteran, I want to say the Thank Yous are appreciated, but that it was my honor to serve. 

To the men and women currently serving, you have my thanks for taking over when it was my time to Stand Down.

Thank you all for your your commitment.


There is a company that supports Veterans each year on Veterans Day and each year I get misty eyed over it.

That company is Golden Corral Restaurants.  Each Veteran's Day, Veterans eat free there, no questions asked.

While I am not a big fan of their food, I am moved each year by the support they show. 
Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"

"Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."
— Daniel Webster

GOLDEN CORRAL MILITARY BUFFET:   
 
From our Patriot Guard Ride Captain:

On Monday 17 NOV 08 from 5 to 9 pm, all 485 Golden Corral restaurants across America will offer any person who has served in the United States Military (including National Guard and Reserves) a "thank you" dinner buffet and beverage on the house - no identification required.  This will be the eighth annual "thank you" dinner for our nation's heroes from Golden Corral restaurants, who have provided over 1,835,000 complimentary meals to military personnel over the history of the event and contributed over $2.53 million to the Disabled American Veterans organization. For the second year, Golden Corral's guests and restaurant teams may send personal greetings to America's military personnel on active duty overseas.   From 1 SEP through 17 NOV 08, special postcards will be available at all Golden Corral restaurants for sending messages of thanks and encouragement to the troops overseas.   They will be delivered to our troops prior to the Holidays.  In 2007, over 55,000 Military Appreciation post cards were delivered to military troops stationed overseas. To locate a restaurant near you refer to http://www.goldencorral.net/ and enter your zip code.
