[QUOTE="Smojo, post: 2905850, member: 78058"]I have to agree with you on most of your statement. Any other time of the year there is little interest from most people. I know this differs from one place to the next depends on where you live. Tulsa, where I live does happen to have one of the biggest parades in the U.S and on Vetersns day the appreciation shown is almost overwhelming. As far as treatment of vets by those suposed to protect us is a joke. I come from a military family, but as far as immediate family I am the only to have been in combat situations. I reached out to the VA years ago and received no help. Times were difficult but family and friends have been true. I've been able to pay it forward to vets returning from Iraq and Afganistan and a few other middle eastern countries that had problems coping with PTSD and getting nothing for help. My brother an Air Force vet suffered injuries while in service, he does get medical but.... This isn't meant to be a political rant and hope it isn't taken that way, I'm just saying "I hear ya brother." And keeping it with coins, A Severina, Concordia with military standards [ATTACH=full]700931[/ATTACH] And a Vespasian Pax reverse [ATTACH=full]700932[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
