Top 10: War Veterans in Comics

Happy Hump Day People!!!








And also, I'd like to say, Happy Veterans' Day to all the brave men and women of the US Armed Forces, and also overseas and international.
Thank you and your families, for your bravery and many sacrifices you've made in service to your country.

Also, here's someone else that wanted to say thank you as well....



Couldn't have said it better myself....

Served in the Armed Forces from 1968-1974, during the Vietnam War.


8). Nick Fury (And the Howling Commandos):
