A Salute to our Veterans, by cartoonist Ben Garrison; give me cause to stop , reflect, and give thanks!
Ben Garrison is a cartoonist, and a VERY good one! His humor is funny and sometimes caustic (in the best way); and he is a true Conservative. He published one recently (July 4th I think) that made me think, and be thankful to our Veterans!

Here is a link to his cartoons:

I can not recommend him highly enough; his humor is often insightful, and is always to the point! The point is that we have the choice, because some gave their futures for ours; simple thanks is not enough!
I am reminded of a scene in saving Private Ryan:

He is told by Tom Hanks to Earn it!
WE should ALL try to earn it (even though that goal is out of reach); to show proper respect for those who have stood in harms way, and said not on my watch! These are the true sheepdogs, guarding the flock.
We can only do our best to reflect them, and try to do what is right; ignoring the risks! Find a Vet, buy him a nice meal, and just spend some time with him. You will leave a better Man from this time spent, but well used!
Thank a Veteran for your freedom; and stomp every politician who tries to steal this legacy!
Very true sir smithlabs! That Liberty cartoon is so powerful!
It really struck me to my core! Very powerful, and sobering. We owe so much....
:'(Exactly. People need to realize that.
There are a lot of shallow people these days! Ignorant ingrates....
But the debt is still there.
:)>Yes, the ignorance is astounding and alarming!
It is what we have paid for in public schools for decades! AOC Is a perfect product, from a liberally controlled public school; ignorant, and damn proud of it!
>:(Exactly. Clueless as you can get. I don't even think she understands how our economy works.
Scary because she was an economics major....
She failed of course!
