I'm not a veteran but my grandpa was in the Navy in the 1940s, his son who is my Uncle Rick used to be a medic in the Navy around the 70s, and his son Rick who is my cousin is an active Marine. Very proud of them for what they do for our country. For my Sigma Nu fraternity family, 3 of my brothers are in the active military. One is in the Navy, one is in the national guard, and one is in the army (i saw him last night for the first time in over a year). But one person who is actively serving stands out. One of my best friends is in the Air Force and currently is in Panama for a year. I was in his wedding last summer and it was great seeing him, since most of the past 3 years, he was in Germany as a firefighter. Definitely am thankful that all of these people are in my life, serve for our country and protect our freedoms daily!

I am not a veteran, but I have a few humorous friends that are. This is their story.
How do you play Iraqi bingo?
B-52...F-16...B-1...
Did you hear that it is twice as easy to train Iraqi fighter pilots?
You only have to teach them to take off.
What do Baghdad and Hiroshima have in common?
Nothing, yet.
What do Miss Muffet and Saddam Hussein have in common?
They both have Kurds in their Whey."Maybe Poker's Just Not Your Game"
