Veterans and Veterans Day

May 9, 2016 - Victory Day. Victory Park in Moscow.
It's a shame that in this park is absolutely unreasoned system of ascent and descent for disabled veterans. Veterans are not young people, the war ended in 1945.
But pleasant to see caring, loving relatives.
A low bow to you - dear veterans!

Originally called the Columbia-Wrightsville Bridge, because it connects the two towns across the Susquehanna River in south central Pennsylvania, this bridge, constructed from 1929-1930, is still the world's longest concrete multiple-arch bridge.
Today is Veteran's Day in the United States, a federal holiday observed annually on November 11 for honoring military veterans who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces. Veterans Day celebrates the service of all U.S. military veterans, and is distinct from Memorial Day, celebrated in May, which honors those who have died while in military service. Veterans Day in the U.S. is celebrated on the same day as Armistice Day or Remembrance Day in other countries.
This shot was taken several years ago at the Great Lakes National Cemetery, near Holly, Michigan. Thanks to all who have served. May we never forget their sacrifices.
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
Veterans Day is intended to honor and thank all military personnel who served the United States in all wars, particularly living veterans.
This old veteran still managed to cruise by with the rest of the squadron to roost for the night. Hats off but I think it maybe the last season for this one. Looking on line it says they live for several decades in the wild. So this guy maybe older than me. Will keep an eye out for this old soul of the sky.
In this 3rd reprise fresh snow covers the sea, too.

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.
This veteran angler tries his luck for some bluegill on the Maunesha River, as Wisconsin & Southern ballast train W400 works east over the river toward Marshall on this fine autumn morning. The thirty ballast cars are behind three shorts on the headpin for Marshall Lumber and the Malthouse in Waterloo.

VETERANS Day Blessings From Tennessee
A veteran GP38-2 led the CP G13 to Searsport today, in the form of CP 3108. Mismatched numberboards, worn paint, yellow pilot stripe, and the golden beaver all add character to this unit, setting it apart from the trailing GP20C-ECOs. After a mainly cloudy chase south, it was nice to get some sun as they worked inside the yard limits at Searsport.
A surprising trend in recent months has been a resurgence in the original P40s south of Washington. Here, one of these leads Amtrak's Silver Meteor northbound through Slaters Lane yesterday morning. The flags mark one of what are currently several work zones between AF and RO interlockings.

- A Standing Salute -
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.
