As I was driving to work this morning I saw a sign board that said, "Thank you Veterans, past and present" and it got me thinking...
Other than to be poetic, do we really need to specify
the remembrance of Veterans to include past and present?
Don't get me wrong, I know that there are Veteran's who are "present"-ly living, but a isn't a "Veteran," by definition, something that is always "past?"
Am I alone in my thoughts on this?

Hmm. That's deep. Maybe it's in reference to what they are a Veteran for? Like, Veteran of a war past or of time already served? For example, soldiers in Iraq... are they not veterans until they return home because then their time in war is done? Who knows.
All I would of noticed is how pretty that birdie was on that striped material ... lol
wow! You think to much. heheheheheheheheh
You need to be more like me. I don't think at all..:)
Abbie, that kind of makes sense. I guess that "Past and Present" is more P.C. than "Past and Future."
I knew there had to be a logical thought behind it... or that this shirt was "Hecho en Mexico" by 3 year olds who didn't know the difference! j/k
We definitely wouldn't want to thank the veterans of the future! We don't want them to get all cocky. Some of them could go AWOL, then what would they be?
Ha!! Too clever.
