Are troops coming home and leaving the middle east this month and next month? I would assume this is a pretty exciting time for the service men who are getting out of there and getting to stay home. ---

I would assume this is a pretty exciting time for the service men who are getting out of there and getting to stay home. Next month. We’re all more excited to have a brothers and sisters in arms home than anything I think. ---

Forgot to post on here, but thanked a few Veteran’s I know yesterday. Thanks all those that have served and are currently serving. Here’s a nice story: _Cliffs_: WWII Vet passes away at 99, has nobody that is going to be at his funeral. Internet catches wind of obituary…humanity ensues. > **[Hundreds Attend Lonely Veteran's Funeral After Sad Obit Goes Viral](http://gawker.com/hundreds-attend-lonely-veterans-funeral-after-sad-obit-1462208614?utm_source=recirculation&utm_medium=recirculation&utm_campaign=tuesdayAM)** > > World War II vet Harold Jellicoe "Coe" Percival passed away peacefully in his sleep last month at the age of 99. According to his obituary, Harold had "no close family who can attend his funeral." Also, my place of employment was ranked #1 out of 120 best Colleges for Vets.

At work our veterans network planned events at each plant and headquarters. I was able to plan the Buffalo event (T-shirts!!!) so I had a busy but great day. ---

It is pretty amazing that a while back, most “veterans” were grand parents and old people from WWII. Now you hear veteran, and it is people you graduated high school with and close friends/family. ---
