And the Bravery continues.
Thank YOU sir.

The best thing I heard,

The best way to thank a veteran, is to live your life worth dying for

Sonar Tech?
HT isn't the typical rate for a WAV..

I took my afternoon ride to Our Cemetary today, to offer some prayers for My Dad, Uncles, and All their fellow Servicemen/women that have gone to their Rest. I was surprised to see only 1 other older gent, like myself, walking the sections. What really shocked me was the Lack of Colors at the Vets Graves ? It used to be quite well done for this, but apparently This is another Part of Our History that is Fading with the New Cultural Shift ???
Again, THANK YOU VETS !!!!!!!!!!!!

Just got back from the center of town, where they host the annual luminary display for our veterans. The lions club does this every year and it keeps getting bigger and bigger, this year being the biggest I ever seen.

A few more. Thank you Veterans!

Even the (insert somethin political) news was there…..

Yup, I repaired the sonar equipment and she did QA and NDT. The HT C school was in Philly at the time and I met her at the base club. Married her when I was 21 and still together.

Thank you to all my fellow veterans. Grateful for the experience that you could not buy anywhere at any price.

Happy Veterans Day brothers and sisters.

Many thanks to all our veterans. This sums it up best for what I am thinking:

“The veterans of our military services have put their lives on the line to protect the freedoms that we enjoy. They have dedicated their lives to their country and deserve to be recognized for their commitment.” - Judd Gregg

Three brothers in Vietnam during the heights. Late 60’s. Two came back whole - The other left his mind there. Died an early death. May as well have gone in-country. He was my closest friend as a brother. I think of him every day. He lives in eternal life with a calm and rested soul. Miss you Brother… Miss you…

Special Thanks to all who have served.......

ever notice the only people who get the day off for Veteran's Day are a bunch of useless Federal and State employees? and they get paid for it....... carry on

 

[F4R/T]

Thank you to all of our hero’s . You are appreciated by many, more than you’ll ever know. God bless all past, present, and future veterans.

Grandpa back in his days of service.

Just an FYI....there are lots of veterans on the state and federal payroll. Veterans get "Preference Points" due to there service. Some get more than others due to combat.
Be careful about casting the net so broadly.

veterans are the ones who deserve the paid day off, no matter where they work........ everyone else, not so much
