    I just wanted to say thank to all the vets here at Xmarks.My grandfather served in the Army during WWII.After work today I went to the cemetery where he is buried and played Taps.While playing I noticed an elderly gentleman in the supermarket parking lot across the highway standing at attention and saluting.It was hard to finish.
    Thank you all.

    OK. You got me with that one.
    Hard for you to finish, huh? It's hard for me to see the screen right now.

    Thanks You, Vets.

    It got me too. Sometimes it takes the older generations to remind us of what respect really means.

    And to all the troops on duty and far from home - Carry on and come home safe.

    As it will be hard for me to finish my tasks night. Thanks for a poignant reminder of those who fought for our freedom and only ask a little respect. Your story touched me as well.

    Thank you to all the vets that have given so much for this country and thank you to all the men and women that are still giving, both current and past.
