6/17th Cavalry Face book page

A Veteran - whether active duty, retired, national guard or reserve - is someone who,
at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to
"The United States of America", for an amount of "up to and including my life."

That is honor, and there are way too many people
in this country who no longer understand it.
