Vets - Thanks for your service. Now let's make sure we end discrimination in the military by allowing gay and lesbain americans to serve openly as President Clinton intended in 1993.

Bush - Thanks for nothing. Don't let the door hit you on your way out.

Our trite ceremonies have nothing on the Canadians.

I resent bush posing as CIC to the military when in fact he has spent his entire term screwing up. He should be ashamed to appear before a military assembly. He has imposed "strategy" when, in fact, his role is to propose goals and leave strategy to those whose business it is. Shame, shame!

How dare this slimeball Attend any veterans day or Military function this WAR CRIMINAL SHOUL BE IN JAIL,He has done nothing for our veterans, and has done nothing for our troops other then use them for his lying war,HELL IS WATING FOR YOU BUSH!70 days to go and I hope i never have to look at your slimy face again!

Bush thank you for your service. While I have not agreed with all the choices you made. Thank you. Obama will be a sad excuse for a president to honor our veterans. How can you honor/lead our military when you have never served. I personally believe in order to run for president it should be mandatory that you served this country in the military. Again, thank you President Bush.

Thank you, Veterans!

Thank you everyone who served this great country. Thank you for your sacrifices. God bless, and a special prayer to those who never returned home.

@Angie,

Evidently a liberal that knows nothing of our Military.
NO MATTER who the President is, whether you agree with him or not, he is the Commander In Chief of the Armed Forces.
He is elected by the people, NOT APPOINTED by the Military.

Plus, I thought this was a Forum to HONOR OUR VETS. Not for Left Wing or Right Wing Bull!

Your words are meaningless and empty. You are not now, nor have you ever been worthy to be Commander in Chief. You've shamed me, my service, my country and the sooner you leave the better.

The president must answer as to why this war was necessary. Before the imbecile negotiates his way into oblivion he should be made to answer the veterans who survive and the American people. Why are over 4000 Americans dead and tens of thousands wounded? What was it for?

Thank you President Bush for honoring our troops today. They really are why we have the freedom we have today. And I am so sorry that some people are so hateful with there remarks about you...they are to be pitied. God bless America.....

4054 killed since "Mission Accomplished." May you rot in hell bush, you imbecile.

> One simply needs to be a great strategist, that's how...many great CIC's never served in the Armed Forces...but back to the IMPORTANT ISSUE at hand...to all my brothers & sisters in uniform, thanks for what you do...for my former shipmates on USS Iowa, thanks to all of you for being the best shipmates in the Navy...nothing but the best...remember our 47 lost brothers...haze gray & underway...

Kinda hard to swallow a "thank you" from a president that has continually tried to reduce veterans benefits, even while calling for more and more troops and longer and longer deployments.

What a terrile thing to say.

How about in the last 5 years that our doctors and hospitals have made mistakes and 500,000 have died.

Do you have outrage for that?

Thank you for our Americans that are willing to place thier lives on the line. It was their CHOICE.

Bush was not my favorite president, and Obama won't be either!

But I suggest you malcontents stop the hate rhetoric!

Try finding something constructive to do or say! :)

I left the republicans because of the hypocrisy of the far-right and the pseudo intellectuals who forgot what conservative principles are all about!

I left the hypocritical far-left because they don't have a clue what "the least of these" means and because of the pseudo intellectuals who forgot what true democracy is!

I am an Independent who wants to see authenticity! Don’t just tell me – show me!

For these reasons, I think Sarah Palin is the hope of the future! She is the real deal, and she walks the talk!

Follow her lead and our global community will be a much better place to live in! :)

Again, THANK YOU Veterans for your Sacrifice so idiots like Samurai can have the right to spread their hate filled speech.

This day is about the veterans who have served our country, not the vitriol stored up for the last eight years in a certain sect of people. Remember the veterans, not your hang ups.
