All gave some; some gave all.
I did my 4 years and got out. I often wish I would have stayed in. Hind sight is so much better..;)
It's okay if you can't remember who we fought. Just remember who fought for you
ALL VETERANS Thank you for your time, bravery, and sacrifice for this country.
I am forever grateful for what you've done
to maintain America's Freedom , Happy Veterans Day

The Manila American Cemetery and Memorial is located in Fort Bonifacio, Metro Manila, within the boundaries of the former Fort William McKinley. With a total of 17,206 graves, it has the largest number of graves of any cemetery for U.S. personnel killed during World War II and holds war dead from the Philippines and other allied nations.
our deepest gratitude and condolences for the losses and sacrifices of so many, in the hopes of making this a better world.
we thank you, and as always,
we pray for peace.
We had lunch at the Senior Center, and they gave all Veterans free lunch, a card, mug and a coin in recognition of their service. They gave Dave one to take to his father, Ken, who doesn't go out except to Dr. appointments now. He served in WW2.
Thank you to all Veterans.
"The willingness of America's veterans to sacrifice for our country has earned them our lasting gratitude".
Happy Veteran's Day!
A salute on this special day to our veterans, past and present, who sacrificed for America and Canada. Happy Veterans Day and Canadian Remembrance Day!
May we never forget. And may someday peace reign and rule forever (one can dream.....).
A tribute to America's Veterans.
I recall a commentary David Brinkley did many years ago from Arlington National Cemetery. He said the next President who decides to send Americans into harms way should make the announcement from Arlington.

Thankful for ALL VETERANS
THANK YOU for everything you do for our country and our freedom! Today and every day we thank Veterans everywhere for their service! There aren't enough words to show our gratitude for all the troops who served our country. To all Veterans out there, we honor, respect, and support you!
We celebrated at Kens home with a nice dinner. Brian our son, 6 years in the Navy and Ken served in WW ll. Ken's holding his WW ll book that Dave's brother did years back for his father.

Ab dem Jahr 1986 läuteten die Triebwagen der Reihe 628 auf vielen nicht elektrifizierten Haupt- und Nebenbahnen ein neues Zeitalter im Nahverkehr der Bundesrepublik ein. Mit Wirtschaftlichkeit und betrieblicher Zuverlässigkeit haben die Schienenbusnachfolger einen signifikanten Beitrag zum Fortbestehen der ein oder anderen Nebenbahn geleistet.
Nach teilweise über 30 Jahren Betriebseinsatz sind jedoch vor allem die 628.2, die ersten in Serie produzierten Triebwagen dieser Baureihe, am Ende ihrer Nutzungsdauer angelangt. Viele 628.2 haben bereits ihre letzte Reise zum Schrotthändler angetreten.
So ist es im Jahr 2018 inzwischen schwer geworden, diese alten Veteranen im Nahverkehr noch vor die Linse zu bekommen. Eine Möglichkeit ergab sich weit im Süden zwischen Friedrichshafen und Lindau, als 628 278 (Abnahmedatum 12.09.1988) am 11.11.2018 fleißig seine Runden auf der Bodenseegürtelbahn drehte. Als RB 22727 befährt er den Lindauer Bodenseedamm und wird gleich den Endbahnhof erreichen.

For all military personal
past, present and future.
Today is November 11th here in Thailand.
Veterans Day is a special day for me.
A time when I reflect back on all the
"Hero's" I've known, and how so
many never made it home.
Please take a moment and really
digest just how lucky you are.
The gold reflection you see
is Buddha high on the ridge
quietly watching over us.
Thank You.

With deep respect for the Veterans who have stood between us and a deep abyss.
Currently 100% of our forces are volunteers. They are paid peanuts and their families struggle to make ends meet.
I was surprised to hear on the History Channel this morning that only 20% of the Viet Nam Vets were draftees. I would have thought the inverse from popular lore.
Above are photos of my dad, my two brothers and me. I am the cute baby on the bottom left. My dad with the Lyndon Johnson big ear is on the top left. My older brother is on the top right and I'm pretty sure he is gay - if he is not gay he is missing a good chance. (Just look at the necklace he is wearing.) My younger brother is giving the finger to the world on the bottom right - a trait that he continues to this day.
I thought about the significance of this day when I saw a goofy wall hanging my mom put together many years ago and gave me showing these 4 photos. My Mom and Dad are long gone, but I thought of my Mom carefully cutting photos into circles to place in the frame as a special gift for me. – I removed them to scan for this.
So, my thought is that all of the Vets were once babes in their mom’s arms. They are not statistics to be used by politicians of any stripe. Both sides suck in my opinion.
My dad and both of his brothers served in the Navy during WWII in the Pacific. One of his brothers died in service. My mother’s only brother served in the Navy in WWII in the Atlantic. My brothers and I also served in the Navy.
My Father-in-Law served in North Africa and Italy.
Two of my wife’s 3 brothers served in the Air Force.
My older brother’s son served in the Army in Iraq during the first (1991?) conflict in a WMD unit.
My younger brother’s son is currently serving in Iraq in the Army as an interpreter. (Prayers for his safety are welcome and requested).
All of us volunteered.
I did diddlysquat in terms of personal sacrifice during my time in service.
Today thousands serve in harms way and deserve our prayers or good wishes.
I salute the brave men and women who serve and have served to keep us free.
Veteran "W Class" tram 854 is seen clanking across the La Trobe Street bridge on a Route 30 service to St Vincent's Plaza. The W Class trams are increasingly unpopular with Melbourne residents, and as such are relegated to minor routes and peak hour services.
“The willingness with which our young people are likely to serve in any war, no matter how justified, shall be directly proportional to how they perceive the Veterans of earlier wars were treated and appreciated by their nation.” — George Washington
Paprihaven extends our heartfelt gratitude to all the men and women who have served to protect the freedoms we hold dear!

Veterans Day 2018
Happy Veterans Day to all the Veterans and my father in law Ken and Brian Christiansen.
It's important to take a moment to thank the veterans. Their valor and honor made this country what it is.
Thank you.
If you cherish your freedoms, thank a veteran! FlyFisherMike and I spotted this Bald Eagle as soon as we drove into Mallard Lake within Big Lake WMA near Manila, Arkansas.
