Thank you all
To those friends and loved ones we lost my deepest thanks

USMC 1969-72

And thank you USA for forgetting the anger of Viet Nam and learning that those who serve deserve respect
 
I have three uncles, and two cousins who are combat veterans from korea to the first gulf war. I am so proud of my families service. I walked up to a few older vets today and thanked then and shook their hands today. They looked kind of shocked that a complete stranger would just say thanks. When I think of my family members I think of the following call sign. "Tango Mike Mike"
 
Me and my just about every male in my immediate family have served and let me tell what, it is a tradtion that I am proud of,and one I hope my son continues. My Dad and uncle was two of the ones that was not well recieved when they returned home as the served in Vietnam. That truely saddens me. With all the support that I and my brother recieved I am thankful that I did not have to hang my head or not let people know that I served. Not in shame but fear of retaliation. Some just did not get it back then glad that has changed. I think that I can safely say for all vets that it was and is an honor to serve for a country great as this. We may be going thru some rough times now but I truely believe that we will come out on the other side stronger. This is one of the toughest days of the year for me remembering the lost. For my brothers in arms that did not make it home, We will not forget.
 
Good thread Stacy,

I too say thank you to the vets of the World Wars and of the modern conflicts.

Regarding the modern wars,tait said it well about maybe not supporting the war but indeed supporting the soldiers.
God bless you and yours and may your minds and bodies return whole...and if your minds and bodies are broken when you return then MAY THE GOVERNMENTS THAT SENT YOU THERE TAKE CARE OF YOU, may the shame of how the Nam vets were treated never be repeated.

Thank you again,

Amen!
 
I still choke up thinking 'bout folks and stuff... Vietnam 1966/67/68.

Got a belt buckle that says, "SOUTHEAST ASIA WAR GAMES 1962-1975----2nd PLACE"
 
I have been PM'd that this is not a thread that relates to Shop Talk.

Fair enough and now that it is past Veterans Day, I think it is time to let this thread fade away ( like old soldiers).

Occasional threads related to current calendar events ( Merry Christmas/Happy new Year/ etc.) and such are not a direct violation of the forum rules, as long as they don't become a hindrance to the normal function of the forum.

I personally don't feel that one day of Thank You posts is a flagrant violation.

Now that the day is over, I am locking this thread. anyone who has thoughts to express can post a new thread in Around The Grinder, or the Political Forum.
