Spend some time with retired members(family mainly), BBQ, shoot guns and blow shit up, and maybe meet up with some friends later. Pretty normal for a Veteren's day.

I plan to spend it at class from 12:00pm-5:00pm, then I'll go get dinner, then attend meetings until about 10:30pm, then I'll do some homework, and then I'll probably go to bed.

| Quote: | HBO and New York Times Partner to Honor Soldiers Killed in Iraq
In Association with Life Books, HBO and New York Times present "Last Letters Home: Voices of American Troops from the Battlefields of Iraq," a Veterans' Day Tribute
November 3, 2004
On Veterans' Day, November 11, at 9 p.m. ET/PT, HBO will air "Last Letters Home: Voices of American Troops from the Battlefields of Iraq, a one-hour HBO Documentary Special produced by HBO and The New York Times, in association with LIFE Books. In an effort to reach as many Americans as possible, HBO has invited its affiliates to open the signal for "Last Letters Home" so this moving tribute can be shared with the widest possible audience.
Built from the words of troops who were killed in Iraq, these final letters sent home are read by the wives, mothers, fathers, children and friends who received them. Full of pride, idealism, wonder and regret, the letters by these troops stand as a lasting memorial to the spirit and humanity of the brave men and women who sacrificed their lives for our country.
A companion LIFE book entitled Last Letters Home: Voices of Americans from the Battlefields of Iraq is in-store and online now, and a DVD will be available in 2005. All net profits from these releases will be donated to the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund. The fund provides unrestricted grants to the families of military personnel who have given their lives in the current operations in defense of our country.
We encourage all our members to watch this moving tribute and, if possible, purchase the book now |
