If you are serving now or have in the past, I'd like to say thank you. I'll never forget.

Enlisted '69. Army Security Agency. Service connected disability (which it turns out, I'm lucky to have; it's the only health "insurance" I have; Medicare next August!). Would do it again.
 
Let's remember, and thank, ALL of our vets!
 

 
A salute to all: past, present and future!
 

A BIG plus 1.

There's an armory/academy across the street from me. The bay doors of the hall where the parade congregates literally open up directly in front of my window so I got to watch them leave and come back.
 
I like the drums and pipes.
 
Before this place/town I lived down the road from one of the major air bases. Traffic was regularly jammed up with processions for dead soldiers coming back from Afghanistan (Highway of Heroes).
 
Pretty sad stuff.
 
I feel bad for those kids and hate the sh*tbirds who irresponsibly send them off to get mucked up or worse over stupid crap.
 
Our vets here in Canada apparently need a buttload of help right now too. Lots of increasing disrespect and neglect from the agencies that are supposed to help them.
 
They did their part... the sh*tbirds reneged on theirs. Pricks.

I appreciate everyone's service past present and future, regardless of time served.  you're all heros.

Ditto.

You'e welcome!
 
'69-76 US Navy   ETN3 aboard USS Alamo LSD-33   patrolled off the coast of the DMZ in '72.
 
Getting some VA disability due to Agent Orange, but not any of the cancers, just diabetes II....
 
Highlight of the cruise; everyone on board was awarded The Philippine Presidential Unit Citation from Fernando Marcus  for taking our flat bottomed ship up a river to rescue some tsunami survivors.
 
 

ex submariner ... and other stuff.
 
Special thanks to all that had it a lot worse than I did.

Thanks to all who served.  Although I had been accepted to go to Annapolis, I had to stay near my disabled father and wound up working for a defense contractor (at the wonderful age of 19 I might add!).  I helped improve some of the toys used by the boys though.
