Hug a Veteran today

Because, politics aside, they deserve one…

[Lineypirate]

I’m still serving, can I have a hug anyway?

[jezalenko]

I literally was sworn into the military today, quite a day to do it with all the the vets there.

And yes, they bloody well deserve a hug!

You sound as though you’re not enjoying it?

That’s a great thought Mike. Hugs all round - vet or current. I was conscripted in the dark days of Apartheid, and served my country with pride, despite not agreeing with the policies of the government. I saw colleagues die. The ANC has just unveiled a wall of rememberance to that dark era, but chose to exclude us, on the basis that we upheld the Apartheid government. My colleagues died in vain, and only their loved ones will remember. It’s so sad, and makes a mockery of what 11/11 is truly about.
Hugs again gentlemen.

That’s a fair point. I still might have the time though, as I’m only a Reservist. If you dont mind me asking, what service/corps are you part of?
