From one, thanks for the thought. Didn't hear much of that when I got back in '69.

I think the current generation is more appreciative than others.

My father was an invalid after combat in WWII and got no help at all.

Things are better now, but still not good enough...

Care of our veterans is still pretty shameful in this country.

Thanks Sergio. And may our current fighting men and women in harms way know/believe/feel/witness that our appreciation for their sacrafices isn't relegted to just empty gestures; and hot air routinely dispensed by politicians.

It ocurrs to me that the events of 9/11/2001 helped to further our respect for our veterans (as well as anyone on active duty).

Anyone else think the same?

Also what of other countries -- how are veterans honored?

...as for other countries, I didn't attend, but nearby in the Netherlands, at a US cemetary where thousands are intered, thousands of Dutch attended an annual ceremony lasting three hours where they honored the fallen Americans.
