We are having a two minute silence at work today.
I want to thank the American soliders "as if it wasn't for them then I would be speaking German by now". ::)
Thanks to all soliders, you are and always will be remembered.

Thanks, Bella. I loved it and hated it and wouldn't be the woman I am today without having done it.
Here's a picture of just another day at work:

Thank you. I was in the army in the 1st Meddac Division, 1971-1974. Yesterday, I marched in the vets day parade. I was dressed and marched with the only GLBT veteans group in the parade. The spectators clapped, waved, cheered and said 'thank you'. It didn't matter to them who we are, they appreciated what we did. To me, that was very encouraging.

Hey your'e welcome kitties, and thanks for all those tax dollars for college!
I remember when I read that, it was like four (?) months ago in a discussion with Tekla and...er...that girl who joined the Army and posts from her cell phone. I'll try and find and quote it later tonight when I have more time because it's brilliant.
