Thanks Wade - he's not a member here but now, I have a DD214 and so does my son. Discharged this summer.
It's weird - someone asked me today what Veteran's day means to me and I said this -
It was the most meaningful work I've ever done in my life. It was with the best people I've ever known. It's a brotherhood/sisterhood that has real teeth/meaning and one that is universal, regardless of branch. Veterans are veterans regardless of which country's uniform they wear and we all have this shared, common bond it seems. I have a DD214, my son does as well. We have 2 separate and distinct bonds between us. Almost like separate relationships. One as father/son and another as vets.
No one's better than another person because they served but I am a better person because I served. If that makes sense.
