Happy Veterans Day! Thanks to all that have served!

Thank someone who served or is serving. Smiles and a salute to everyone. Never give up the ship!
Been on all four (tempting target for those who remember Pearl)

My first squadron (except we were flying A7E's)

Here's a lil jab at my air force buddies (I'll bet the space force doesn't have this problem)

Happy Veteran's Day to all who have served...!

Often we have done a job , no one else wanted to do , far away from home , with little thanks and damn little pay.
With that said....
I am proud to have served and wouldn't wish to not have experienced what I did , where I did.
Experiences , after all , are a large part of what makes you who you are.

Thank you so much for your service and sacrifices.
I need to find a Poppy today.

Thanks to all who served.

Let's hope more of our Troops are home by the New Year. I think the work to make that happen is being stepped up.

Thank you to all that served and to all the lost souls on Flanders Field.

I wish many thanks to those who have slept in the dirt, slept in a cramped ships berthing area and even those who have slept in luxury barracks/off base housing (yes, I'm looking at you chair force).

Seriously, thanks to all that have spent honorable time in the service to keep this great nation what it is.

I was unable to attend the festivities at the Tahoma national Cemetery in Kent today. I was there three weeks ago to help my wife's friend finally bury her father and mother there. A solemn experience every time I attend one.
You would wonder why a tough old Neanderthal like caveman would come out of there with a wet face every time.

 

[Ura-Ki]

Thank you to all who have answered the call to serve or who are serving!
It has been my honor, privilege, and pleasure to serve this Nation in times of peace and in war, and I have had the pleasure to serve along side some of the greatest heros and patriots this Nation has ever known! In my own small part, I hope that my time had a positive effect for this country and this world we all share!

God bless all who wear a uniform, you are our connection to the past, the present, and the future of this great and greatful nation!

I try to pepper the internet with photos of my grandfather every Veteran's Day.

Today I was remiss since I was busy out in the woods riding my UTV in sub-freezing temps, carrying a Glock G19, and summiting a mountain before it got dark, all in an attempt to prove my manhood.

Compared to my grandfather, Dennis R. Weaver, who led the invasion to liberate Italy in WWII as a tank commander, I failed miserably.

Here are some photos of my grandfather and his fellow veterans that he took...

I wouldn't be beating myself up like that. From what I've read from you on here, you did yourself proud.

Did they capture that Elefant?
(I say "Elefant", since it appears to me - from as much as I can see of it - that it's a Panzerjäger Tiger P heavy tank destroyer)

I never saw these photos until several years after Grandpa died, so I never got the chance to ask about any of them. Like most vets, he rarely talked about the war. He did share with my dad about some of the challenges of living inside of a tank, 24/7, for nearly a year.
