Thank You to all the Veterans today!!!!
« on: November 11, 2010, 01:13:25 AM »
I would like to thank all of the veterans past and present for their service to our great country, and to the men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice in order to preserve our rights may we never forget what they have done for us!

May God richly bless all of our vets, past, present, and future. As a nation we have become soft and take our freedoms for granted. We have more, and appreciate it less than any nation on earth. POWDERMAN.  :( :( :( :( :( :(

I think everyone knows where I stand on this one, but I will post it again.


That my two young sons may never have to know the horrors of war. 

I will stand for your rights as my forefathers did before me!
My thanks to those who have, are and will stand for mine!
To those in the military, I salute you!


I thank all those, past and present that protect our country.
May you never be forgotten!

Thanks to all the veterans here at GBO and in the USA!!  It is, and always will be, your commitment to freedom that allows Americans to enjoy their freedom, even if they choose to do idiotic things and make idiotic statements in its exercise.   For those of who served, and continue to serve, I salute you.  :salute:

Just got back from enjoying a little moosemilk with my Canadian Forces detachment after a very nice Remembrance Day ceremony at the Royal Mausoleum. Running my chokers through the wash now to get ready for our 235th Marine Corps Birthday Ball in 3 hours, this year I'm not oldest present (praise God!) This'll be the 19th anniversary of a young LCpl Nelson proposing to his future wife ... several deployments and a purple heart later and she's still here, God is good!

Happy Veterans Day!

I was with the 11th Air Assault Test unit at Harmony Hill in 1963.We were the original Air Assault and repelled only at that time. I never made it to Jump school. I mustered out before we merged with the 101st. I was stationed on main post, in the shadows of the towers in 1961 going to radio repair school.

Were the big U shaped barracks on the main post still standing when you were there? I have some fond memories of Benning..........Some not so fond lol!
