A Veteran is someone, who at one point in their life, wrote a blank check payable to the United States of America for an amount up to, and including, their life. Those of us who are veterans the full amount of the check was never demanded.

Don't thank me on this day to honor those who paid the full amount, I still have a balance owed. The real heroes lie in neat rows in military cemeteries.
