VETERAN's DAY TRIBUTE 2015

Amen,

My father was a POW in WWII for 3 years in the Philippines. I know that I could never contemplate what he endured. He was awarded the POW and Purple Heart Medals after he passed away, and there is not a day that goes by that I do not think of him and feel proud to be his son.

Happy Veterans Day him, and to everyone here and thank you for your service.

Thank you Walter for your continued support of our veterans, expressed on this forum and your own web site.  I'm also a veteran and continue to be humbled and amazed of our country's men & women that have always, and continue to, care for the freedom we enjoy.

Thank you Veterans for all the freedoms I enjoy. God bless all of you.

Gentlemen,

   To all my Veteran friends on the OGR and all over the world, as Bob Hope would say, Thanks for the Memories, and God's Speed for a job well done.  For those that gave all, we never forget what you have done and the price you payed for our freedom and way of life.  May God hold you in his hands and grant you, your every wish, and may your families live in ever lasting peace and prosperity, in the country you served and protected, so proudly.

I wish to thank one and all veterans for their service 

Without your sacrifices and your heroic services we would not 

have the life that we lead

so I salute you and tip my hat 

and again 

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE

Happy Veteran's Day

Since we are not quite to Veterans Day just yet... I think it is a good time to say Happy 240th Birthday to my brothers!

Happy Birthday and Semper Fi Marines!

You gotta love a bunch of rowdy bast**** that started in a bar!

On the 10th of November, 1775 the Second Continental Congress established the Continental Marines. The recruiting drive was done in Tuns Tavern by Captain Samuel Nicholas, the first officer of the Marines, considered to be the first Commandant of the Marine Corps.

Thank you mytrains. Went to a showing of a movie called "The Hornet's Nest" in Sioux City, IA last week. It was filmed by a father/son pair of journalists. One of the advisors for the film was a badly wounded veteran from Sioux City. The 90 minute film showed n actual squad in Afghanistan and focused especially on a 9 day battle with the Taliban where the American forces were surrounded by the Taliban. At the end four had died. I did OK until they showed the caskets on the plane to return home. I have not erased the days in Viet Nam, they lurk in my memory. I did not sleep well last Thursday night as the old ghosts can out.

I turned 18 shortly after the draft ended and did not serve in the armed forces, but that makes me all the more appreciative of those that served our country, defended our freedoms, and laid their lives on the line. I cannot imagine the courage it takes to do that. Thank you all. 

Semper Fi to all Marines on this the 240th Birthday of the Corps!  Also to all who served in any capacity, especially those who served in WWII, Korea, Vietnam and the two Gulf wars.  Never forget the ones who gave their lives.
