Any vets among the Audiophiles here?


With the anniversary of D-Day, and Flag day taking place recently there has been a lot of thought given to the people who fought and in many cases died to our freedom. I don't just mean in the US.

Keeping those things in mind I was wondering if we have any vets here. I know Slappy was in the service, and look what it did to him!!!: ) I don't know if you want to mention it here, but I want to take a moment to thank you for the service you provided to your country.

All of the freedoms we have including the chance to simply sit around and listen to music was won for all of us.

Thank You!

Yup. Isochronism is right we are in debt to our veterans and I don't think it will ever be fully repaid. I donate whenever I can to veterans charities. This is chessy but when I was selling CDs and DVDs on other sites I never shied away from selling to buyers who were in the armed forces. It was a pain in the butt filling out all that paperwork at the post office but my thoughts were at least I'm helping entertain them a small way.
Mrmitch you're preachin' to the choir brother! I'll go a step further and say all those who currently hold a seat in power who've repeatedly used patriotism and the troops as a political weapon every chance they get, whilst at the same time voting against true reforms which truly support the troops should be called out for what they truly are: HIPOCRITE'S.

Call 'em what they are...how normal workin' folk can continue to vote these thugs into office is beyond me...don't get me started. Support the troops by supporting them in deeds not empty so called patriotic words...I can't understand people continuing to fall for their crap....and obviously we don't need to specify who "they" are. Okay, I feel mucho better after venting in a forum.
Macrojack, it's encouraging to hear someone who hasn't drank their kool-aid. I just can't understand the ignorance of the public at large. Their latest invention, the "TP" created by who but one of there own who retired as a Texas house member, went to work as a lobbyist immediately after and came up with the brilliant idea of inventing the TP. Brilliant because it would take a brilliant sell job for anyone to sell Dick Armey's invention to the public at large...but ignorance alone is the biggest threat to what remains of democracy...we can't even have fair elections thanks to Diebold...America is under it's biggest threat and it's obvious to anyone who truly informs themselves with honest facts who the biggest threat to democracy is.
Sorry-I feel different! I always concidered it an honor to work defending my Country. Never expected anything in return, certainly never expected to become a
millionare. Worked my Butt off, but had the priveledge to
work with some of the most professional people that I ever met. We were too busy focusing on our jobs, and never let
Politics come between us. Hell, the Navy never asked who I
voted for to send to Washington D.C., they just bent over backwards making sure that my Vote counted. That was the
type of Democracy that I defended, and would gladly do again! MM2-USN-1982-2002.
Navy Seals Special Ops mission accomplished. Thank you! And thanks to all the above Vets.
