The Holy Roller Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 (edited) Viet era vet here, USAF, but did not serve in country.... did fly over that stinkin place though.... on a transport. That was enough for me. One complaint.... is that I think any vet, working for ANY company should get the day off. It's our day... to remember those we served with, and to think about the 4 (or more ) years we did serve. Memorial day is when I tend to think about firends and family I've lost from wars, but vets day, that;s for those who lived. I've thought the same thing many times. USMC '72-'76. Vietnam '72-'73 (there when the treaty was signed) with 2/9 and the 1st MAW. Edited November 17, 2007 by The Holy Roller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeeR Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 I would like to say THANK YOU. I always make it a point whenever I see a uniformed serviceman to walk up and say thank you and shake their hand. It is something my grandfather started me doing along time ago and I find that the gesture is greatly appreciated. I have great respect for the men and women of our military past and present. Thanks and you're welcome. I have served faithfully and proud of my service, but I work (AFRES) for JFCOM Special Ops unit and these guys are giving me new-found respect for what they do (repeat they do.......I support them, belong to the unit, but I could never do what they do. jeebus). JJ, where'd you serve? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
