To all veterans

Thanks Reb...I give thanks for all those that came before me and all that came after on a daily basis. And remember my 241 brothers lost on 23 October 1983 nearly every night while I'm trying to sleep. After 35 years. ....it's bearable, but still not easy...
Still remember that, I was a senior in high school and the news was just devastating to me. Not so much to my classmates because it made the news just a few nights.
No one said terrorism, insurgent or much of nothing. Just a lot of young men gone.
 
Between our Dad, a trooper with 26th Cavalry, a Bataan Death March survivor, and Korean War veteran, my 2 older brothers in the Army, who each served 2 tours in Nam, another brother with 3 tours in SEA, a sister in the USAF, and yours truly, we put in 120 years in the US Military service. And yes, we proudly stand up for our Flag and the National Anthem.
 
Thank you to all veterans including my Dad who was a 1945-1946 merchant marine and is still with us, his friend who passed several years ago and was a 101st Airborne Bastogne survivor, my brother-in-law who was a Cold War secret squirrel in the USAF, my neighbor who was wounded in a helicopter crash in Vietnam in which most of the guys on the bird did not survive the crash, and a close family friend who gave all when his helicopter was shot down in Vietnam.
