What it means to be a Veteran?

Today is Veteran's Day. What is a 'veteran' all about?

"The soldier is the Army.
No army is better than its soldiers.
The Soldier is also a citizen.
In fact, the highest obligation and
privilege of citizenship is that of
bearing arms for one's country".
- George S Patton Jr.

* The smell of brass polish.
* The boots shining.
* The aroma of uniform.
* The bugle calls.
* The salutes.
* The WD cable, call never
dropped.
* The trenches Were Abode.
* The Sahayak so precious,
Man Friday.
* The pull through, pulled us
through.
* The glistening medals.
* The invaluable time.
* The life spent together.
* The life we missed.
* The festivals, family enjoyed, 
the day we came home.
* The 6 B, we don't, but we do
miss.
* We don't miss call for getting 
together. 
* Ironing of lounge suit.
* Searching for miniature medals.
* The golf cap.
* The side cap.
* The one after one tales Trivia of
Past.
* Worth for living long, worth
more than worth, for next life in
Army.

My take

Proud to be a Naval Veteran!


Tailpiece.

Got up at 6, the chores and was ready by a quarter past 10.

The Ancheris will be with us for tomorrow and the day after.

A quiet evening.
