I'm just another "Billy" who was an E-4 in Uncle Sam's Army in 1968, but had it a bit easier than Rich's Billy. Today is Veterans Day and I hadn't thought about my time in the service until I read Rich's story. Thanks, buddy.

Sunday we honor our veterans past and present. As we have just finished the mid term elections the service and sacrifices of out vets is ever present for me. As you go through your daily routine without giving a thought to the how's and why's you do what you do stop for just a moment and give a silent thank you to the men and women and their families who have helped make this country great. If you know a vet give them a call and say thanks, if you don't know one but know the family of a vet call them as they also serve and sacrifice. If it weren't for the vets we might not have an Independence day to celebrate.
For many even after they have left the physical part of conflict behind they still carry those burdens with them. In honor and remembrance of those that have served and are serving all of us in far off lands away from family and friends I bring Going Home back to the top once again. Freedom is not free, for those that pay the bill I salute you all

I attended a service today for Vets and each of the service flags was presented and we stood for ours and then....they presented the POW flag to complete silence and then a moment of silence to remember those who never made it home or who are still hoping to make it home. They are out there, my work was often not on record and I always understood "we may not know you at first, but we will be back for you". Thanks for the great story Rich. I hope everyone will say a prayer for the families who aren't complete and for those members who we still hope to find. God Bless them and Thank you all, MSG Al Greeson.
