:smash::clapping::thumbup: To the men and woman (Past , Present and Future )of the Arm Forces of the United States.

I thank them all for a job well done.
Keep UP the Great Work

I know how it feels to be away from home and family.

I am and always will be a Vietnam Vet.
 
History Channel is having a documentry on the Vietnam War, started last night but I'm sure you can catch a repeat of the first 2 parts.

Thank You for your service.

We buried my father this past weekend with full military honors and 21 gun salute. When they played taps it really hit home my father would have been very proud of the ceremony, he loved the military.

The nicest thing I herd all weekend though was when we were at the cemetery for the burial. One of his friends walked up the the grave, saluted and said "from a friend and fellow vet thank you for your service". Un-rehearsed and from the heart I think that was one of the greatest things I herd anyone say to my father. It made me feel so proud of my fathers service and mine. I'm so glad that the soldiers are finally receiving the praise and respect they deserve. God bless them all.
 
A Veterans' Day Poem

A Veterans' Day Poem
By Holly Rulli

Atlantic News, Thursday, November 14, 2002
[The following article is courtesy of the Atlantic News]

Veterans' Day will come and go
Quicker than the blink of an eye
But memories of heroes present and past
Will never, ever die.

The youth of today, do you understand?
The price brave men did pay
To preserve the freedom we enjoy
Each and every day.

They were called to duty, and so they went
Not knowing what was to be
Many came home, some never did
They sacrificed so we could be free.

How lonely some must have felt
How scared some had to be
They paid the bill with their own blood
What a great cost to be free.

The heroes of our country
Are the ones who paved the way
For freedom and the many rights
That we enjoy today.

Next time, young folks, you pass someone
Who may be old and gray
Remember — thanks to him or her
You have your freedom today.

They may dress funny, not see as well
Walk a little slow
But they were young when duty called
And off to war did go

Brave men today are still at war
How scared some must be
How lonely some must feel inside
Paying the price to be free

You may dress funny, not hear as well
You drive your cars too fast
But remembers all those great brave men
Of present and of past.

So when you’re called to duty
Not knowing what is to come
Remember all those men before you
Who fought for our freedom.

Paul, sorry to hear about your Dad. Prayers out to you and your family.
 
Paul I got a bit choked up, I'm truly sorry for your loss. I know you will miss him. Theres not much time that goes by that I don't think about my own. My dad was not ever in the military but has always taught us to respect those who where. I remember talking to a friend during a national anthem at a ball game with my hat on and getting the smack down.

Remember the things in the coming days about your father that made you laugh. Don't remain strong let it all out.

It sounds silly but I stood strong for days after my mother passed , we all went over her house to clean her stuff out. I lost it while cleaning her fridge. Saw the homemade baked beans that I realized I would never eat ever again.

I salute you Paul for being a great father to your children like your's and mine was to us.

I'm proud to have veterans in my business..
Roger served aboard ship,
Miguel served in Afghanistan, and is being honored for his service and injuries this weekend
Fine, fine people.
..and my daughter chose NJROTC !!
 
The last time I was at the airport a group of about 20 Marines walk through the terminal in there travel gear and Uniform
Everybody who saw them stood up and started clapping :clapping:as they walked through the Terminal. As I watch them continue down the terminal it look like the wave at a sporting event as they walked down the terminal people were standing up and clapping:clapping:

and saying thank you. It brought a tear to my eye and it made me proud just knowing how much america cares about the people

who serve this nation.
 
Thank you for your condolences they are appreciated. Today is a day for celebration and remembrance of all the great things our veterans have done for us. To see how they are treated now is one of the greatest changes our country has made over the past 30+ years and would make my parents proud. Continue to honor my fathers, mothers and others parents and family members who have served with the respect we show them today on every day. God bless all our troops and thank you for your sacrifice.
