to all of you on here that fought for our freedom. The world is a better place because of you.

I'm proud to have served my time. There were good times and bad, trials and triumphs, but all in all I remember it fondly and with pride. I just hope the men and women serving now get to come home safe to their families like I did.

I don't speak for everybody, but for me, it's just my job. I have been in the Coast Guard 7 years now and have been everywhere from the Sea of Oman to Singapore. I am very thankful that I could serve my country during these times...

**Corts60** · 11-11-2008, 06:32 PM

I am proud to have served for the last 7 years in the Coast Guard. I'll never forget those who paved the way...

LMDGUY · 11-11-2008, 06:39 PM

thank you for keeping our country safe!

I keep this pic on my wall.. a buddy of mine took it from his F14 in 1983 while I was stationed on the USS John F. Kennedy.

It says, "Go ahead, mess with us!"

Happy Veteran's Day!!

Today I took my 6 year old daughter to a Veterans breakfast and then spoke to her first grade class about veterans day and helicopters.... I enjoy the public service but am more grateful to my grandfather and great grandfather that fought in both WW's and Korea...

Keep a prayer out for our boys and girls overseas right now, even if you aren't religious...it's really taking a toll on morale..

cayoterun · 11-11-2008, 11:31 PM

You folks have our prayers daily, Mike.
Thanks for being out there for us.

Thank You ... each and everyone one of you.

The the many sacrifices you make for so many of us do not go unappreciated.

Veterans update!
WASHINGTON -- Veterans and active-duty military not in uniform can now render the military-style hand salute during the playing of the national anthem, thanks to changes in federal law that took effect this month.

http://www1.va.gov/opa/pressrel/pres...se.cfm?id=1609

Remember to wear your ribbons on Nov 11th!

sdkid · 11-12-2008, 01:30 AM

Also, please do not forget the fallen soldiers. Those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
Thank you to all soldiers...Past, present, and future.

Jeez, you mean I have been breaking the law for almost 40 yrs? I always salute the flag.
Just seems like the right thing to do.
