Geoffrey J. Baker - of Sandy - I salute all our veterans who served with honor.

I fully agree. Salute all veterans.

But these anti-war never served in OUR Military young skulls full of air and mush raised on evergy drinks and video games and call that higher education, can't even spell the word's of "Salute all veterans", nor even know how to really Salute all veterans. To Salute all veterans does not mean "flipping them the middle finger" either. Like the hippy movement did to us when we all came back from doing a 6 year tour in Vietnam. Back in the 60's. And 70's. It's about time they started to Salute all veterans in all war's in the past and now, in the future. Plus google it, to know how to Salute all veterans and thank them to.

Isn't it interesting . . . ? Two men that tried to kill each other, during war, become fast friends. This has been the case so many times. German Aces that battled U.S. Aces . . . now good friends. A U.S. Colonel who fought in Vietnam meets and has a friendly conversation with the North Vietnamese General that he fought against in the Ia Drang Valley. It is too bad that human beings have to go through such violent and vile experiences to see that we really have a lot in common.

I too salute all veterans.
