Lest We Forget

 

No apologies required Allan, we owe them our freedom. Hoping the younger generation never forget that.

 

My thanks goes out to all you veterans.
Your service is a critical part in keeping this country whole. Too many in today's society have forgotten that.

 

Thanks Allan. Remember, that will never be off-topic.

 

Thanks to all that served and those now serving this great country, God Bless them and their families, think about it, where would we be without our veterns, Homade, USMC, Retired

 

Thanks for this thread. I agree, this is never off topic.

I'd like to give a shout-out to my dad, PFC Bradley Green (1919-1994) who landed on Omaha Beach on D-day, at approximately H-hour + 120. (8:00 am)

He taught me everything worth knowing. Hiking, camping, wrench turning, construction, and to treat everyone else with respect.

And a big thanks to everyone that has served, is serving, and will serve. We can't do it without you.

 

Hand Salute! To Mr. Green and all our veterans.

 

A big thank you to all my fellow Veterans. Thank you for keeping this great country free!

 

Yes, thanks to all who served this great nation...and Garry, thank YOU for your service...YOU are what makes this country great!

Thanks to all my veteran brothers and happy belated birthday to my Marine kin.

 

especially on this day this is and always should be the topic. I didn't know this until recently because he didn't talk much about this part of his life but my uncle drove onto Omaha beach on D day, driving a tanker truck. There was still plenty of action and bullets were flying everywhere and I'm not sure if he knew the difference but Sherman tanks and other US Army vehicles did not run on diesel so he was hauling gasoline. He continued to haul gasoline for Patton Army 'til the end - the Redball Express.

 

Happy Veterans Day guys! Appreciate all that you vets have done for this country.

 

That's it, and we cant ever forget the ones that fought in the frost, the beaches, the skies, the mud, the jungles, the deserts, where ever they were or are needed. They are mostly young , but always willing to go. Our vets, past, present and future. Thank you.

 

You know there is only one thing wrong with the Vet Holiday. My dad who served during the Korea era was always upset on this holiday.

He worked at the rubber shop and the office workers had the day off but the "workers" had to work. I always felt bad for my dad as he served and deserved the day off!

I think everyone who served should be entitled to the day off with pay no matter what job they have. That would help show some thanks and respect I think.

I did not serve but am glad for all who did.

 

Many thanks to all that served.
