Kiss me, I'm Veterish!

So it doesn't look as good on a t-shirt.

So tommorow's veterans day, right? In remembrance of our armed forces (and armstice day before that.) What were you planning to do? Avoid the lake? Studiously NOT go to the bank or recieve your mail? Perhaps you were planning to really go over the top and fly the flag, or observe a moment of silence.......(actually I might do those last couple.)

Screw that, though. If ya want to support our troops, and the sacrifices they've made, go out and buy a veteran a beer. Or give 'em a big smeary kiss on the lips. Putting out will be considered extra credit. For those of you not up to this, try writing a letter or baking cookies. And while you do want to consider those who are in the military now, don't forget..........Old fat fogey vietnam and gulf war vets need lovin' too, or if not lovin' then at least beer.

I've been in the army over 5 years now, and while I do appreciate the occasional kind word, moment of appreciation, or ribbon I didn't really earn for being in the military at the right time, it seems to me the things that the guys remember best are the actions ya take, in this case noogies and booze.

So this year, find a soldier and say "Kiss me baby, I'm veterish."

Anyone reading this should consider how badly they want to be hurt before they start giving my husband big smeary kisses or offering him....well, you know.  I mean it.  The only person he gets lovin' from is me...and this year I'm lucky enough to have him home so's I can show him my appreciation up close and personal like.

He has to work tomorrow too, SNS, so you're not alone.

Yeah, Military Wives are notoriously touchy when other people start getting too close and personnal!

My sweetie will miss my "Veteran's Day Thank You" but will be home just in time to see his daughter born..... I suppose I can think him then....

When my husband was dying (I thought recovering from a massive stroke) in the VA hospital, I had a chance to see how lonely some Vets were. At that time I was a heavy smoker so I would leave my husband's side for a smoke break. In the smoking lounge, I would be immediately be surrounded by ten or twelve lonely men. I always had a supply of cigs and lighters to give. I listened to their stories. Some told me that their wives just dumped them at the hospital and never returned. Some just wanted to know why I was there day after day, hour upon hour. It was an experience I will never forget.

Today I will honor all those brave soldiers and those I don't even know about by remembering them to the Lord. Praise God for all those who serve.

Here is a smooch for you, SPC NBP. Yipes, an old lady's kiss? OOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUuuuu!

The Marines will pass them the message.
