Happy Veteran's Day

[papaver]

I thought this definition of a Veteran was worth sharing...

A veteran is someone who, at one point in his/her life, wrote a blank check made payable to "The United States of America," for an amount of "up to and including my life."

hm. My grandfather was in the American army back in WW1. He went through hell and back. And never was the same afterwards. He was fighting in Verdun (France) at the time... they now discovered that the soldiers then were given cocaine (provided by the Nederlandse Cocaine Fabriek : the dutch cocaine factory). Otherwise the soldiers would never have stayed in those trenches...

It gave them more guts... and a nice addiction afterwards.
