Really sorry to vote uninteresting.

# Mahalo don't mark anyone as veteran or non veteran in any spears or category.

# Are you want to waste your tip ? Tip some one or vote some questions to recognize them.

# I don't know your motive.

Now you either can add my name or not. But I am really sorry to say words of above.

Thanks

Well, I don't know if I qualify as a veteran. And I'm not sure what sacrifice I've made. But I'm always interested in fun and exciting things like this on Mahalo, so here I am!

If this is just fun charity, then thank you! That's awfully kind of you to give away your hard-earned Mahalo dollars.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

I agree with Safiqulislam. When you want to thank someone...tip the answer...and that person...sorry....uninteresting for me too. Plus...i think a veteran ( in this case ) is a person who spent a long time on the website, but not necessarily a person who helped you the most...So...I dont see the point. If you want to tip a veteran, this is not a way to put it.
I also find this question uninteresting because it sounds like you are asking people to beg for your money.

Sorry if I'm harsh...It's just my point of view.

Thank you to all of the United States Veterans for all you have sacrificed in the name of freedom and the United States.

We, the citizens of the United States, owe you a debt that can never be repaid.

I am not a U.S. Military veteran, but I would like to add my thanks to all who are! We will be honoring your service on behalf of our country - even if we do not always believe in the missions that our civilian leaders have sent you on. THANK YOU!

I have very deep and personal reasons for honoring all U.S. Military veterans and active duty personnel, and their families.

We should thank God every day for these men and women who are willing to give their lives for our freedom.

Many who are better individuals than I will ever be have died in the prime of their lives and left behind heartbroken and grief stricken families, some of whom never recover from their loss.

How humbling it should be to know there are people who don't even know us, yet are willing to give their lives for our freedom. I can think of no-one who should receive more honor, respect and gratitude.

I too wish to thank the Veterans of the United states and to the veterans world wide that have served their countries to promote freedom and safety for the entire world.

There are not enough thanks for the sacrifices that veterans have made.

Hats off to all the soldiers (veterans or active) in the world, who served or are still serving for their nations. I salute them and I honour them more than anyone else in this world. They sacrificed the golden period of their lives so that we can live in peace. They are the actual super-heroes and real life Ramboes. Perhaps they deserve much more than respect. May God bless them and make their lives happy, healthy and peaceful. Salute!

The way I read the question, you would like US military veterans to say so. The question, though well intended, seems to have caused confusion.

At any rate, I served in the United States Navy. I can't say I made any particular sacrifices as I spent my years pretty quietly in Europe and the US. But I did my part to keep the Navy running smoothly and a strong deterrent to foes.

6 Years of US Navy time, glad I could help out, but it was pretty uneventful, really. I also didn't do a very good job stitching this on. My Dress Blues look better. >.>

Thanks for the thanks!

It's very kind of you to do this to thank veterans. Thank you.

I am a veteran of the U.S. Air Force (seven years). It was my honor to serve my country and its members.

I'm also married to an U.S.A.F. vet, my dad's an army vet and my father-in-law is another Air Force veteran. So, from all of us, thank you! :)

I should have not answered your question as I am not a US military veteran myself but I come from a military family (my uncles, husband and grandfather). And this maybe late but my grandfather had served in the Philippine Veterans (and fight against the guerillas) but he died already in 1995 and had not received any single cent from the government. Sorry to say that but that's true! Just remembering that he had served our country is enough to make him a winner. His name's Carlos Ocaña.

There are many wars that I would have supported, I would even support veterans who did not know what war they were getting themselves into.....but I am sorry I can not jump on the band waggon and thank every single veteran of every single war. I do not believe in war, it is one thing if we go into a war as defense but I can not support anyone who goes into a a war knowingly under false pretenses. I Can not agree with or honor anyone who voluntarily signed up for duty during the Iraq War, what a disgrace that war was to this country..it did not make this country more secure it actually made this country less secure. We were lied to...telling us that the Iraqis were making nuclear weapons, the whole yelllow cake thing. Why is it such a taboo in this country to stand up and say that you do not support people who invade a country that did not attack us. George bush tried to drill into our heads that 9/11 was caused by iraqis when infact all obut two of the 19 people involved were saudi's. There was no draft like in vietnam (I wholeheartedly suppport vietnam vets who were drafted) though this was another war that did not protect the free world from the supposed threat of communism. Sorrry but we have never preemptively attacked another country, this was unprecedented and caused great harm. so thank you to veterans who protected us in wwI and wwii and thank you to the boys who were drafted to be killed in vietnam you had no choice, but no thank you to those who willingly went in to Iraq even after it was known not to be producing nuclear weapons.

I am a conscientious objector and generally believe war causes more war, violence feeds violence...and I am glad we have a president finally who is willing to use diplomatic approaches to solving modern issues, war should be reserved only for defense against real threats. This is 2009 not the middle ages we do not conduct crusades anymore.

My dad was in the Air Force for 31 years, and I loved that he was - we got to travel around, live overseas, and I got to meet a lot of people and learn different languages. His involvement in the military shaped who I am today, and I'm so very grateful. :)

I served in the US Navy.

I am a US Air Force retiree married to an active duty Air Force guy who would stay active duty forever if they would let him. I have an active duty AF son and one in the AF ROTC program in college. I can't say that I made the sacrifices even close to comparable to those who came before me in the military and certainly not to comparable to those who still serve. I have friends whose spouses stuffer from very serious PTSD and it takes a toll on the entire family.

If you'd like to read about the impact on an injured vet and family I encourage you to read the blog of this young Wife of an Wounded Marine

I wasn't able to make it to yesterday's ceremony at the Manila American Cemetery but I am sure it was one that would send chills down your spine as Echo Taps brought it to a conclusion. I was able to take part in Flag planting at the cemetery for Memorial Day and welcome many Filipino and American veterans to the memorial. The cemetery here is the largest outside of US soil. More than 17,000 killed in WWII are buried here. From every point where you stand within the grounds you see rows and rows of grave markers.

The link above has pictures of the cemetery. I add this one, made on Memorial Day.
