Thank you. But, we’re beginning to witness the return of the radical left and their anti-Veteran rhetoric. Shades of the Vietnam era…having lived through both.

We’re still alive and around to tell embellished tales at the VFW, Legion Hall, or similar setting! :wink: It beats the alternative! :pensive:

Most of all - To the Brothers we lost…

Very old pic, I still had (little bit) hair.
You cant really see, but that’s an Unknown in one of the WW2 Allied Cemeteries, France or Italy, cant remember anymore.

I always pull this off the wall on this day, look at at and remember all the lost friends.

Never served. Missed Vietnam as they ended the draft shortly after my 18th birthday. Sincerely appreciate all those who have served in any capacity, especially those who have faced enemy fire. Can’t even begin to imagine what it must be like. I embarrass my kids when I see a veteran and and stop and ask if I might shake their hand while thanking them for their service. Most times I get a polite thank you. Sometimes it turns into a conversation about their service and their experiences, some really amazing stories, especially from the WWII vets. Occasionally, there are tears and I’m not ashamed to say as often as not they are mine. Thank you all and your families for your service, dedication, and sacrifice. May God continue to bless you and our great country.

Slacker; when you’ve done 45 I might, just might, talk to you. And remember, I can bore for NATO - oh, wait! I do that already!
