Mark Vader Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 A Happy Veteran's Day to all those who served and are currently serving here. Thank you for all that you do for this country and the people who live here. You have far more courage than I. My dad is a Vietnam veteran who served in the Navy, and I'll be spending the day with him, helping him get all his free stuff today. Let's not forget that this was originally Armistice Day, the end of World War I. 2 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you sign that contract, you're in for the ride ... Anything from peace time REMF to front line infantry in combat. It's all a crap shoot. 13 minutes ago, SlimShady'sSpaceForce said: I find it odd to say Happy when our service men and women did so much and all of it not good TYFYS I try not to say Happy ... you're right, it's odd. But it's an expression of respect for all who have served and it's sincerely appreciated. 1 minute ago, Mark Vader said: A Happy Veteran's Day to all those who served and are currently serving here.

LabattBlue Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 To all the veterans out there I say thank you. My dad served in the Navy during the Korean War, and he just passed in November of last year. He was so proud to have served and loved to share stories from his days in service. 1 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is more in celebration of being part of something noble in spirit and greater than one's self. I think there are certain professions, like the military, law enforcement, firefighters, etc., that embody a sense of selflessness and sacrifice for a greater good. The overwhelming majority of men and women in those professions do what they do for all the right reasons and understand there is always the potential for instances where the outcome isn't good, in terms of injury, loss of life, trauma, etc., (and some instances of dealing with the consequences of people themselves within these professions who aren't good). Yet they do it anyway. There is something special about that. I am happy to have been even a small part of that. And I know you weren't saying anything that was critical or disrespectful. I know what you meant. Just trying to put what I feel into words. Edited November 11, 2021 by billsfan1959 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dukestreetking Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 (edited) To all my brothers and sisters who served, anywhere, any time, and in whatever capacity: I pray that our collective sacrifice (and that of our families) in some way made the world safer, and our countrymen more secure.

We were up-range of them as they bombed the hell out of the Iraqis in 91 ... we could feel the ground shake. By the time we rolled in, they had NO will to fight. That was a slaughter 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sherpa Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 (edited) And the reunions are great. Spent last Thurs-Sunday at my Navy Aviation Officer Candidate School reunion. Our 45th class anniversary. Did it on Pensacola Beach at the Blue Angels end of season homecoming airshow. Saw the F-35 and F-22 demos as well as the Blues. Had many conversations with guys who were involved in those projects after getting off active duty. Tremendous comradery and great food/stories. Also allowed me to miss the debacle in Jacksonville.

He proceeded to tell me about the friends he had lost. Maybe a Blessed Veterans Day is better, but that does not suit everyone. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
