Our veterans are some of the most special people in our world. They have sacrificed so much for our freedom and security. On Veterans Day, let’s take a moment to thank them for their service and to celebrate their humor, resilience, and strength.
Here are a few humorous and appreciative thoughts about our veterans:
- Veterans are like fine wine: they get better with age.
- Veterans are like diamonds: precious and rare.
- Veterans are like superheroes: they have the power to make the world a better place.
- Veterans are like angels: they watch over us and keep us safe.
- Veterans are like legends: their stories will be told for generations to come.
Thank you to all our veterans for your service. We are forever grateful.

Vets have NEVER been taken care of properly by the country and government they served and sacrificed for. We probably gave Revolutionary War vets the shaft.
History agrees with you.
Kevin, yours is a lovely tribute to all those who’ve served and put their lives on the line, literally.
Thank you!
Amen. Lovely sentiments, Kevin.
Agreed, Kevin, and enjoyed your approach to the topic, although…
I must opine that, despite the courage, bravery, service, and sacrifice, too many lives, hearts, and minds have been misspent on cynical, misdirected, brutal and just-plain-stupid foreign military “expeditions.”
Yes I can think of too many myself.
My son-in-law works for the VA. Too many veterans don’t receive the services they need.
Sad and true.
A concise, moving tribute to our nation’s vets!
