Although a number of my buddies were deployed overseas, I spent all my time in San Diego and Arizona. Cupcake duty. Just went where they sent me.

My uncle recently died and he'd served in the Army and Navy for a period when he was younger--not something he ever talked about much. Navy folks came and played taps at the funeral to honor him. It just made be realize how many have served and go unrecognized most days. Thank you to all the veterans.
November 11th, 2017 at 7:39 AM ^
I got to set him on a bier yesterday. Are we cousins?
November 11th, 2017 at 6:36 AM ^
Thanks for recognizing us.

Air Force for me. It was an honor to serve this country.
And thank you to those who thank us.

I did not serve myself but both grandpas served in world war 2, my uncle served in the army, and my cousin is serving on a submarine. I appreciate the sacrifice of those who put their county first.

THANK YOU!!

My paternal grandfather fought in WW I, other grandfather and two uncles in WW II (one was a POW in Germany for a year after his B-24 was shot down over Austria), two more uncles in Vietnam. My father and his youngest brother are both Army vets.
I have the privilege of working with the VA now (my company is providing services to the VA and veteran-owned businesses). For all of its problems - and they have many - most people in that agency genuinely care about veterans and want to serve them. It’s a privilege to do so.

Charles Dickens must have been a Marine because he was right, it was the best of times, it was the worst of times. Semper Fidelis and Happy Birthday!

I'm happy I'm out of the Army now, but damn glad I served. The whole reason I joined was bc of 9/11. Thanks to all the other Vets out there. Particularly my little sister. Big shout out to the Air Force for the rides and for the Navy running the TSA check point at Al-Asad Air base in 2011. 1st ID Big Red One, Danger Forward!
November 11th, 2017 at 10:29 AM ^
I too joined because of 9-11 and was stationed in Germany in the 1st ID. However, with the shout out to the Navy for 2011 for being TSA in 2011, I probably got out a little before you joined. I joined the when the fall semester ended after 9-11 and after the late entry program because of the health my grandpa, and getting stop-claused, I got out after the divisions first deployment to Iraq in 2005.
November 11th, 2017 at 7:55 AM ^
No, thank you! It's good people like you all that made serving feel like such an honor.
November 11th, 2017 at 8:02 AM ^
Served onboard Independence from 1983-1988. She was assigned to Task Group 20.5 as part of Operation Urgent Fury, the Invasion of Grenada, in 1983. In 1984 she won the Battle E award as the most battle-worthy ship in the Atlantic Fleet, a nice feather in our caps.
November 11th, 2017 at 8:04 AM ^
Served from 85 thru 91,
Thanks for the thanks...wow that was dorky.

I did not serve but was able to provide support for our Marine and Navy troops at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, Camp Lejeune and Bogue Field.
Thank you for your service.
Ooo Rah!
Go Blue!

All give some. Some give all. Thank you veterans.
I have some friends who run a program for veterans called the Warrior Bonfire Program. It's well worth a look: www.warriorbonfireprogram.org

Army here. Thank you for your support I truly appreciate it. Maybe today I can post about Karan Higdon reaching 1000 yards without getting too much flak lol. GO BLUE!

Thank-you for your service and sacrifice.

Happy Veterans Day!

Spent about 15 years in Germany patrolling along the border with the Workers Paradise Prison Camp. It is quite sobering to see entire nations holding themselves captive at gunpoint.
November 11th, 2017 at 9:33 AM ^
1975-1977. Worked with army intelligence monitoring activities in the Warsaw Pact nations. You are absolutely correct. Nations typically maintain border controls to keep people out. The East bloc maintained border controls to keep people in. Does that tell you everything you need to know about what living under communism is like??
November 11th, 2017 at 8:28 AM ^
Happy Veterans Day!

To all my Mgobretheren, GO AIR FORCE! GO BLUE!
November 11th, 2017 at 8:30 AM ^
Thank you to my grandfather who served in the Navy during WWII. He was deployed on a sub tender in the Pacific.
Thank you to my brother who was in the Army reserves and was called up to serve in Desert Storm.
Thank you to my brother-in-law for his continued service in the Army. He’s been deployed many times in various capacities.
And to my grandfather who gave the ultimate sacrifice during WWII. We never had the privilege to know you, but thank you for your honor, commitment and sacrifice.
November 11th, 2017 at 8:30 AM ^
My hotel in DC is full of veterans here for the various ceremonies. It's pretty cool seeing all the coats and hats from the services. Proud to be an American.
November 11th, 2017 at 8:35 AM ^
I'm pretty irritated that it's Veterans Day on this particular day. I had some fraud on my bank account come up this morning and I can't dispute it or get the money back until Monday.
Other than that, I appreciate those who served and hope you have a great day.
November 11th, 2017 at 10:32 AM ^
If that's all that goes wrong this weekend then you're in good shape. Most banks will handle that type of thing with no problem. Good luck
November 11th, 2017 at 1:13 PM ^
Appreciate it man.
To those negging me, I expressed my sentiment to today and what it means. I have several uncles who I personally called this morning and thanked for their various tours of duty.
And I also thank you all for your services. Sorry for not just posting a generic thing like "I love the army! God bless the USA!" for you all to upvote I guess.

1983-1987 USS Durham LKA-114. Home port San Diego and 3 deployments to mess with Hotel Putin's folk.
November 11th, 2017 at 8:56 AM ^
To all veterans who have served. My father, grandfather and four uncles all served our country; one uncle was shot down over Italy in WWII - so sorry I never had a chance to know him......
November 11th, 2017 at 9:02 AM ^
Long list on both sides of our family. My wife’s uncle was the first Michigan resident lost in Vietnam. His name is on the Huey helicopter mounted at Vets Park in Bay City. A few other cool stories too.
November 11th, 2017 at 9:03 AM ^
Thank you veterans. Much respect to my heroes
