Sir, thank you so much for your service and sacrifice for our great nation. You kept us safe and free, and from my heart I thank you and I appreciate you. I will ask the Creator to bring you many blessings of comfort, joy and peace.
That train set is a work of art, absolutely beautiful and I'm sure your Grandson will cherish it for life. My Grandpa served in the Army in WW11, the 14th Tank Battalion 9th Armored Div, "The Phantom 9". He left me some things and I cherish them as well.
I was at the local RKO store the other day and the VFW was set up there selling Poppy's, I usually get mine at the Legion but walked up to a Vet sitting there and made my donation, and he gave me a Poppy and thanked me. He was a Nam Vet wearing a USS Kitty Hawk hat. I thanked him for his service and he said, that it was his honor. All of you Vets are so incredibly wonderful, and again Sir, thank you. Carry on.

I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

Thank you for your service. We are all sporting our poppies over here for Remembrance Day. I saw the cadets standing at attention out in the snow last night (it's like an honor guard, they will stand there all night) as a testament to the sacrifices made by others on our behalf. I am glad we're on the same side Enjoy your day, you all deserve it (and more)
Just happy to be here.

Thank you, Coon Duke's Dad, and prayers for your health and continued happiness. Thank you for your service to our country, for fighting for the freedom we enjoy today.
I absolutely love your train, and I can see that your son and your grandson do too!
My dad was a Korean war vet, who was a train loving guy and model railroad builder. Wonderful stuff!
Happy Veterans Day! Patrice
