Here's a little background knowledge straight off the History Channel incase you didn't know the basics about day. Veterans Day originated as “Armistice Day” on Nov. 11, 1919, the first anniversary of the end of World War I. Congress passed a resolution in 1926 for an annual observance, and Nov. 11 became a national holiday beginning in 1938. Veterans Day is not to be confused with Memorial Day–a common misunderstanding, according to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Memorial Day (the fourth Monday in May) honors American service members who died in service to their country or as a result of injuries incurred during battle, while Veterans Day pays tribute to all American veterans–living or dead–but especially gives thanks to living veterans who served their country honorably during war or peacetime. Doz on Life is an extremely pro troops production. Regardless if you disagree with why they're fighting you gotta support the troops. I think the fact our country treats our Veterans so poorly is an absolute shame. Way too many homeless Vets who aren't getting the help they need. I personally think if you fight in a war and make it back home then the government should be obligated to help you out. These are the people who really deserve it. So many Vets out there with not just physical injuries but mental ones as well that in a way are almost worse. Losing a limb fucking sucks don't get me wrong but at least you can be at peace mentality. PTSD is no joke. Our armed forces have the most important job without a doubt. It requires insane sacrifice and dedication that not a lot of people want to do. I would never do it. I'm too much of a pussy and also love my hair too much. It takes a different kind of man or woman to sign up to protect our great nation. I have friends who have served and if you're reading this you know who you are and I just want to say thank you for your sacrifice. From all of us at DOL (me) I just want to thank you all, past and present for all you do for this great nation of ours.
P.S. You deserve a whole lot more than a free bloomin-onion at Outback.
