< Thank You for Your Service - In honor of Veteran's Day >


George: "How fucking fucked this 'thanks for your service' crap is,
you can't eat 'thanks for your service', no-fucking-body even
bears can fucking eat it where's my fucking food?"

Ray: "It's coming George."

George: "These thanks are shit, food is sincere."

With these free dinners we thank you for your service.
These free dinners are available at participating restaurants.

With each bite of meat loaf and potatoes,

We honor you.


---

Courageous civilians,
innocent bystanders,
this day is yours as well.

A heartfelt thank you for your service,
for the sacrifices that you've made
to help us wage our fickle wars.

No flags, salutes, to honor you this day,
your dead, your children that we burned to death
out on our gloried battlefields;
there are no crosses, flags, salutes
to celebrate and honor you this day.

But celebrated here or not, your dead, our dead,
your children that we burned to death have disappeared;
have disappeared with us, have disappeared.
