That gets me teary-eyed every time. I wear a black "jelly" wrist band with the "ALL GAVE SOME, SOME GAVE ALL." in white letters perpetually, too.
Yesterday was the first Vets' Day that I've missed the local ceremonies in over a decade. Had to stay at the hovel to wait for a fiber cable tech appointment. We were shut down Monday by a low-wage ditch digger wielding a pickaxe. Chopped my fiber cable in two rendering us deaf, dumb and blind for 24 hours. Business effectively shut down. Had little choice.
