Veteran (vet · er · en) Someone who, at one point in his or her life, wrote a blank check made payable to "The United States of America", for an amount "of up to and including my life".
I thought it was "...up to and including my life and liberty." though I'll stop short at once more insisting our vets sacrifie their freedom the day they enlist. Not trying to start somethin on your blog, Dale :)
Great quote. In which conf did you see it? or on whose posts? I haven't read the Bar in 3 days going on 4 *blush*
I know that quote, the latter one, and have seen it on the bar and have expressed it in my own words and oddly, been told no, I don't know what i"m talking about, soldiers don't give up their freedom. I think they do, from the moment they enlist. Even Basic Training requires sacrificing your life from that moment until you finish your service. Or die. Whichever comes first.
But some days, I guess, if *I* am the one to say it, It must not be true.

Quote itself is in the Bar proper.
