Dear ABS members,
With Veterans Day approaching I would like to take the opportunity to send my regards to all ABS veterans, both active serving and former.
I wish you a perfect day, enjoying what it is you enjoy most (probably knife making <img src=' http://www.americanbladesmith.com/ipboard/public/style_emoticons//wink.gi f' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' /> ), a quality drink and a nice meal with friends. You have earned it.
I have included a poem by English writer, poet, and novelist Rudyard Kipling. Something you may relate to. Please watch here.
Kindest regards, respectfully,
Boris

Thank you Boris, very thoughtful!

We just buried my Dad - his resting place is close by the Netherlands bell tower at Arlington.... it was a gift to the United States as thanks to our soldiers for the American blood shed on behalf of the Dutch people in two world wars. Thanks for the poem and good thoughts, Boris.
