Honor indeed! Salute...
And those still alive still are!
Janet and Mike, he just got bumped up on our prayer list! God speed and safe return...
Prayers and hope for a safe return.
Being the mother of a soldier, my Dad was a soldier, my grandfather fought in one of the WWs (dang old brain, but I was born on his birthday so Grampa an I were very close), all these thanks and dedications just grab my heart. @Boden, I sent your "Soldier, I Thank You" video to my son. He is FL National Guard but did house raids in Iraq. Camped out in Hussain 's palace.. If I had known at the time I would have been more of a wreck than I was.
I already said Thank you once, but can't say it enough.. Thank You all you veterans, you made the greatest sacrafice of all. For us. Thank you.
Edit: Russell, nice bday present!
That's the west side of the state. It's like two different countries there and here. Lots of Californians over there. It's just like the politicians are dead set against vaping on the west side not on the east side. Seems like there are a lot of controversies at SPU don't know why. That's where all the money is in this state also. There are a lot of foreign students at SPU also, when you drive around that area it looks like Saudi Arabia.@2legsshrt ... so what is it w/ people out in your neck of the woods. Just saw a news article that the students at Seattle Pacific University could not 'present' the colors or say the pledge of alligence during a veteran's day program in a university church because "there is diversity of views on campus' over doing it. What the heck!
When the legalized pot it was the westside that carried the yes vote. Tons more people live there. Not that I have anything against it making the govt lots of money.
I miss the comradery.Thank you for your service Jerry (Chief). I missed the return from Vietnam by just a couple of years. Boot in San Diego, OS "A" School in Great Lakes. USS Dupont (DD-941), Air Intercept Control School, NAS Key West, AntiSubmarine Air Control School, USS Dahlgren (DDG-43), CG/DDG Combat Systems Instructor, Dam Neck, Fleet Deception Group Atlantic, Space & Electronic Warfare Training, Naval War College, Space & Electronic Warfare Commander, Amphibious Squadron Two and Retirement. I actually miss it everyday. Do you?

Just got an email from the place I get my flavors from in Germany and they have been very busy there too because they are trying to make stupid laws there also. Don't know what kind but hoping I will still be able to get my flavors. I'm going to stock up on those too. I know these last at least a couple years in a cool dark place.

It's all those lovely liberal things they're teaching the college students these days. What ever happened to them teaching them to think for themselves???
Well, he will certainly be put on my prayer list!! Why are they still sending more people to Afghanistan anyway???
No matter where I am on Veteran's Day, I always make it a practice to thank every Veteran I see and shake their hand. Yesterday was no exception. A lot of our pilots are Veterans, but I didn't get a chance to thank them because they were all flying when I got in. My immediate boss is a Navy Veteran. I thanked him, and he didn't know where to put himself. One of the other mechanics on this shift is a Veteran. I thanked him and shook his hand. He was genuinely surprised, but thanked me for acknowledging his service. My crews are the best!

You need more coffee. I shouldn't be drinking any more myself, but it doesn't much matter. I'm headed to bed shortly anyway. I got in late this morning, did laundry and had every intention of staying up all day so I would be tired enough to go to bed early tonight. I can already see THAT'S not going to happen!!
You forgot to add the scrambled egg. Makes a nice corn n bread omelet.Guess i need more coffeee..or it's too early....
