To All Our Vets...

Was in the Med too.

Ship I was on at the time, (Capodanno FF1093), provided NGFS off shore of Lebanon for the Missouri so they could grab a couple weeks of liberty.

The Mighty MO did most of the heavy lifting but with all of the ships in the Eastern Med at the time, combined, we shelled the city and buildings in the port area of Beirut into a ghost town afterwards.

Not much said in the media about the retaliation at the time, but that was before 24/7 news and the interwebs.

I enjoy this every Veterans day. I get a car wash, a haircut at Hair Saloon for Men, then head to Applebees for lunch.

I may even start the day at Dennys for breakfast.

Happy Birthday USMC!!!

On Veteran's Day 2019, let's please remember that the freedoms we have here in our great country were never free, but payed for by all who served & those still serving.

It takes a special person to make this sacrifice & less than 1% of our citizens do.

Thank you to all who have made this tough decision to serve.

 

[ol' school]

Thank you to all who have served and a thank you to all who are presently serving. Also a special thank you to the families of each service person. Your sacrifice is greatly appreciated!

I am going to attend a Veteran's Day ceremony at my Grandaughters elementary school at 7:30 am.

I hope they have coffee.:Coffee:

Hey All, It's another GREAT day in America and wishing all the vets who served and are serving this GREAT NATION.

Being a Nam vet I'm so glad our brave men and women don't and didn't have to through the things we did when we returned from Nam.

God Bless all and have a great veterans day. Hhardrock.

​

I took the oath in March, 1970, at the age of 17. Turned 19 in the Nam. Today I reflect on all my friends, cousins, and my BILs. Even though some didn't make that flight home, most did. Now, because of Agent Orange I have one friend and one cousin left who served.

It took our country about 40 years to start recognizing our sacrifices and suffering. I don't care. I am proud that I did what I did and I am even more proud of my brothers who were beside me.

I hope they have coffee.:Coffee:

I could not believe there was over 100 Veterans at the elementary school this morning at 7:30am & the kids sung 3 songs after we all did the pledge of allegiance. Very cool & they had great coffee!
