I don’t give a crap if you don’t consider yourself patriotic or if you consider yourself an anarchist, today is a day that you should be in reverent thought for your veterans – those who were either fearfully forced to fight on the front lines in order to liberate a country, or those who bravely elected to walk forth, somberly, and accept a fate that was bestowed upon them by their country’s calling.
It’s because of these brave men and women that we are as great a nation as we are today, and even those crazy celebrities that we love to talk about so much here have had a hand in fighting for our nation in one way or another. Without further ado, a few celebrities who felt the calling of their nation and served her well:
Tony Bennett
George Steinbrenner
Montel Williams
Bill Cosby
Rod Serling
Ice-T
MC Hammer
Mel Brooks
Elvis Presley
Jimmy Stewart
Clint Eastwood
James Earl Jones
Gene Hackman
Jimi Hendrix
George Carlin
Chuck Norris
Drew Carey
Shaggy
This is just to name a few, but there are far more important ones out there, too, the ones who never received national and international recognition, and they’re probably much closer than you think.
So if you don’t know any of these guys on the list personally to thank (a lot of them are either dead or just won’t really want to talk to you), go and be a good person: find a veteran so that you can thank him or her for serving our country in the noblest of ways.
What? Seriously??
What a load of self-righteous bullcrap :-D “great country” – i can assure you nobody outside of the us thinks that – trust.
The VAST VAST VAST majority of people that go to war are poorly educated folks that are manipulated by the goverment. i feel sorry for them, yet i also think people should THINK FOR THEM-FUCKING-SELVES before going to take other (innocent) people’s lives, for reasons that have nothing to do with bringing freedom and everything to do with economic gain
tsss!!
Please grow a brain.
Oh my my. I think you’ve watched a bit too much Michael Moore. I agree with toonsis… grow a brain.
@FUCK…. It’s because of these men and women that you can have that ridiculously ignorant and offensive opinion. Regardless of whether or not you agree with war and/or our governments foreign policy, you should never EVER belittle the sacrifices made by the men and women in the armed forces. Do I love war? No. Do I think the US ought to sometimes keep its nose out of everyone else’s buisness? Of course. Do I think that my father, grandfather, and several friends serving overseas at this instant are ” poorly educated folks”? FUCK NO. In fact, I have one friend who got a full ride to UW Madison and ended up joining anyway. He is certainly as smart if not smarter than you, because I am positive he would never leave an “I” uncapitalized.
I and the soldiers that came before me fought for the right for that person to have that opinion. Your welcome.
