The notes for this show will be very brief as it is simply a show dedicated to our Veterans with a background on why we celebrate Veteran’s Day on November, 11th. They guns fell silent on the “11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918”. Yes it sounds cool but setting it up that way cost thousands of additional lives on World War 1! Just one example of the sacrifices soliders make for the vanity of those in government.
We also announce our first sponsor of the listener appreciation contest today. SOE Tactical Gear, tune in Friday to get a chance to win a tactical stocking like the ones shown below.
We will also talk about a new program I would like us to all consider participating in “Stockings for Soliders”.
Resources for Todays Show
- SOE Tacticl Gear
- Forum Post to get Stockings for Soldiers off the Ground
- A Link to Purchase Stockings will be Coming Shortly – The Link I had does not appear to be working right now. (OK the link to buy them one off is http://www.tacticalresponsegear.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=202 They are 25 bucks but John said he can do a 20% discount off for quantities of 4-6 so some of you close to each other might want to buddy up or what have you. I think John will have a page with built in discounts soon, I will keep ya’ll informed.
Thanks for doing this show Jack. I was just telling my fiance and her sister how important Veteran’s Day is and how it applies to anyone who served in uniform. I’m a combat veteran but I’ll take issue with anyone who disrespects those who served in a non combat role as “not a real veteran.”
Great show, Jack.
My Pop was a veteran of Vietnam and I can’t even begin to tell you how awful he was treated when he came home. Spit on, called all kinds of names, cursed at, just awful treatment.
I look at every veteran with the most humble appreciation for their sacrifice.
And I hope and pray that the people of the United States will realize that these men and women are there to fight for them.
To all the members of the Armed Forces,both active and retired, Thank You.
Thanks for recognizing the Coast Guard, Semper Paratus (Always Ready).
Jack,
My mass transit buddy recommended your podcast to me. Wow, what a find!
Thanks for this special Veterans Day post. I really appreciate your comments. The one that hit home was your comment that the look in a Veteran’s face was because of the thought, “someone deserves it more.” Oh so true! That is exactly what I think when someone even mentions my service. Thanks again for all you do.
Hey, thanks for the article post.Thanks Again. Great.
