Happy belated wishes to all our veterans!

Yesterday, I carried this red-blooded, American-made lambfoot (which went with me to Jekyll Island, GA - but sadly didn't get carried or photographed up there)!

Now, no derriere kicking please, I didn't serve and certainly didn't earn my "dolphins" (I was just a wee bit too rebellious for the military at that age...) but @sbh06 made me this amazing slip for Jack's "Feeding of the (lambfoot fans) 5,000 Page Giveaway" (I thought that would have been a better title... perhaps not 😂) honoring my father's and uncle's service in the U.S. Navy's Submarine Force. While I certainly don't have the training, If I ever find myself deep underwater I'll have to assume that, genetically at least, I'll be okay! I carry the slip with pride!

Some family background: My uncle was onboard the USS Chopper when it lost power and made a nearly fatal dive off the coast of Cuba in 1969. She returned to port under her own power and served until 1976 when she sank while being employed as a tethered underwater target.

My dad, who has always found it funny that he was awarded his Vietnam War stripes, spent the majority of the conflict in Antarctica fueling C-130s bound for New Zealand, fooling around with penguins (I have pictures...), drinking very old beer and eating very old cheese, rolling 50-gallon drums of human waste into the Sound, and emblazoning the massive snow drifts surrounding McMurdo Station with anti-war sentiments such as "make love, not war" - apparently, walking on them would cause a darker color to be revealed, handy for cheesing the brass and entertaining his fellow "sailors" (they weren't sailing anywhere, they took planes). 😂 Dad has always been an incorrigible hippie at heart. ✌️

My maternal grandfather, a Navy man but not a submariner, advised me not to join up as, in his opinion, it was "just a bunch of idiots telling other idiots what to do." My grandfather always had a unique, and generally irreverent, perspective on matters. 😂

Make it a good one, Guardians!

An interesting post, as always Will! :D And a great pic :) My uncle was a sailor on the HMS Bulwark, a famous British aircraft carrier, for most of his naval career, but he used to say he'd been in 2 years before he first went to sea. The band around his first sailor's hat said 'HMS Seahawk' :) :thumbsup:
