Thumbs up navy

my dad was a navy radio man and had some nifty gadgets he showed me once.

i had three brothers who also served in the navy....one as an leutenent. (sp)

had i been a year older, i would've been drafted in the vietnam war....

my draft number was 356 the following year and so i wasnt called to serve in the military. I am not real good with authority figures... so i didnt join.

58,000 injured men and women have given there best to spread democracy to the world with over 2000 giving their lives in our latest military conflict.

i salute all of the people of the military for their sacrifice and dedication
and their for their contibution to make america free for all of us.

Usaf 93-97. Lived in d.c for a while and every veterans day I'd go to the vietnam memorial and pay my respects. Never forget those who gave their lives for us.

Thanks to my dad who brought his family and married my mom here from Vietnam. He fought in Vietnam war. He wasn't a Viet Cong.

Huge thanks to all you who served!

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.

One more Vet saying thanks

My son served in Iraq with the A-10 tank killers. He's now back safe and sound and still serving.

Way to go Nick, I'm so proud.

Hugs, Dad

There is a saying that goes something like :

If you can read, write or speak ...thank a Teacher!
If you can read, write or speak English... thank a Soldier!

Not sure if thats how it goes. But I think we get the message. My sincere thanks to those that made the ultimate sacrifice, to all the Vets and to all those currently servicing, God Bless You All.
