Veteran's Day Thursday #341

[RICHARD]

I want to start this thread by saying that I mean no disrespect to anyone who is in or has worn a uniform for their country.

Thanks.

--------------------------

Thursdays is always a 'day before' , so I wanted to do a little salute to the Vet's-Veterans Day is Nove 11 and I thought a thread BEFORE would be
neat to do...

Let's make Buffalo Wings for the Air Force.
Pulled Pork for the Marines.
Fish for the Navy and I am stuck for the Army!

Wait a second!!!

What about the Coast Guard Gang ??

I don't think they'd mind sharing a table with the Navy?

PS,

A Boone's Farm for Jason. Strawberry.

DONE!

Puck, under the heading of "you had to be there".......

Please keep the Strawberry Hill away from me, but I'll raise a glass to absent friends.

A glass of Jack for LTC James, SFC Howe, and MSG Tuliau. LTC James was a commander to the end, waited until his soldiers had been laid to rest before he passed himself.

I'll raise an Irish to Spc. Akintade, didn't know you long, but you were a hell of a soldier.

There are many, many more, but I'll stop there.

No official drinks for Jim, a vet of 2 tours in Viet Nam, a father of 3, a good boss, and a friend. Rest in peace you old ba$tard.

A toast of good Bourbon Whiskey for my Daddy; he's a retired Lt.Commander in the Navy, a Veteran of the Korean War, and WWII. He's still going strong at a young 84 and living the good life in Florida! Thanks, Daddy!

I'd also like to send a thank you and raise a glass to all current and past soldiers in honor of Veterans Day - thank you all!

A toast to my ex's military family...

My ex - Marine Corps
Father in law - retired lifer - Army. Now deceased.
Brother in law #1 - retired lifer - Navy
Brother in law #2 - retired lifer - Air Force
Brother in law # 3 - Army
Brother in law # 4 - Navy

And my brother - Navy


They traveled the world - land and sea - defending this wonderful place that we call home.

[KYS]

A salute to all the Vet's, past and current soldiers who have given so much for all of us.

[Karen]

To all the veterans and to those who are currently serving,

coffee ring for James! (Navy nephew on the USS Reagan)

[smokey the elder]

A toast to all soldiers, sailors, Air force folk, Marines past and present, and a glass of champagne toast for the USS New York, made with steel from the World Trade Center.

[Coast Guard ...]
I don't think they'd mind sharing a table with the Navy?

MIND?

About like the Army would "like" sharing their beans with the Marines.

Better pull out the picnic table.

In Memory of Dad ~

Retired Lieutenant Colonel, US Army Corps of Engineers, Pacific Islands, WW II ...

Dad and his Engineers began building Air Strips on the Pacific Islands before all
the enemy fighters had been cleared ... they rode their dozers and graders with
their weapons beside the seats.

A toast to all soldiers, sailors, Air force folk, Marines past and present, and a glass of champagne toast for the USS New York, made with steel from the World Trade Center.

While not a New York fan, I thought it was kind of poetic justice they won on the anny of the last time they were in (Nov 4 2001) and having the USS New York commissioned/festivities today.

-------------------

To my uncle, who served in the "big war" and whom I never got to meet, to all the fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, relatives and family friends who have given their time, blood, sweat and tears for the people of their towns cities and country.


I hope we all can take a moment and everyone can put aside the inter -service rivalry for a moment at the BIG TABLE.

(I'm to afraid to go to the L&F to get the picnic table..)



Coffee rings, bourbon, champagne and a tip of the hat to the "ole bees turds"

Keep the stories/mentions coming.....We can't forget them.


Done.

[momoffuzzyfaces]

I was going to suggest cornbread and beans for the Army but you all beat me to it!

I'd love a cherry rootbeer to toast all those who are serving or have served in our armed forces!!!
