Veteran's Day Thursday #341

[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.

[RICHARD]

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.

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!!!

Nope. It's more FUN at the big table.

The more bickering when it comes to jarheads, squids, wingwipers and coasties, the merrier. (Soldiers are perfect, nothing to pick on there, it's everyone else who's FUBAR!)

I hadn't laughed like THAT in a while....

Another round....

DONE!

I was in line at a bank and ran into R.Lee Ermey - he is an impressive person.

I looked at him and nodded but could not figure out who he was until later.

He's about 5'8" - 9. I figured he'd be about six foot in person.....

Since then? I laugh every time I see him on the tube.

I came across this picture and had to clown on it.

Set 'em up Richard. Been a hell of a day. **sigh** only 2,920 days until I retire.

I'm sorry that I have no affiliation with the service except that I know my Great Grandfather (I think) was killed in the Boer War.

Veteran's day is always a mixed bag of emotions for me anyway. I'm so thankful for the women and men in the service because untimately they are making this world a better place. I'm also thankful and sad for the women and men who have lost their lives in the many wars that have happened. I can't imagine what their families have gone through. I usually attend the services at my local cenotaph.

You don't need an afilliation, it's great that you remember them.

It's been a heck of a week........a heck of a life time?

What ever you are drinking!

DONE!

LOH and PS.


As much as I am ashamed to admit it?

I bought a 3 for five dollar bottle one day....just to remember...
