dcat, That is totally impressive. I went to 'Nam in mar of 65, and I appreciate this.
I appreciate people like you Mike H.!I am honored to have you as a friend!I am very honored, to have met you in person!I am honored that you are the first one to comment on this important day! This is the greatest honor to protect our country and an honor for me to thank you! I am honored to be able to acknowledge you and others that fought for our country! There is no honor in people that don’t understand it! And never will! Know that I am aware and am very grateful. You are the one that's impressive Mike H. as well as others out there that have and are serving our country!
Well thank ya but let's watch my hat size for me. I can't afford a whole bunch of chapeaus.
Mike H.,I’ll buy you one! One for each size as you grow! :D
Wow Mike I didn't realize,- my thanks as well even though I know our guys weren't there on that one. Also like to say, that since I've met our little band of 'war mongers' {yeah!} I have learned the truths and facts behinds a lot of lies that I had been sold by LSM over the years, about Vietnam. Thanks for that as well. I offer my sincere appreciation of this dedication and beautifully expressive post dcat.Lest We Forget. Bravo to you both and to all who are not abandoning the truth.From what I have heard, the white poppy was first worn in England by the widows/families of those who had lost their lives during WWI. I understand they were worn for military parades, memorials and dedications and such events They would wear the red for the WWII dead and white for WWI, signifying they personally had lost a loved one and or family member in WWI. Daughters wore them in honor of fathers they had never met.Any one who steals the 'white poppy' as an 'anti-war' emblem need to be dealt with harshly, they are traitors spitting on the graves of vets of both WW wars. {What i'd personally like to do with them can't be spoken here, nor is it appropriate today, so I won't.}I did observed two minutes of quite reflection to honor the memory of all our fallen and vets today.Godspeed good people, and keep shinning the light on the truth. Those who seek the truth will notice, I did.<>
I no longer wait to thank our soldiers on this day. It's a total waste of time for the rest of the year to let them go unnoticed.Whenever, I see veteran license plates on cars and it's possible to do so, I thank them. The man who parked his car next to mine at the apartments where I live, was an Air Force Veteran of VietNam. We nodded to one another now and then, but I didn't ask him about the Purple Heart license plate on his car. He died a month or so after moving in. So, I don't wait for this single day.Last summer, at a free concert of the old rock group The Turtles, from the stage, Flo and Eddie asked all the VietNam Vets to stand and then the Vets of other wars to stand. They led the crowd in a loud round of cheers and appluase. Many of these men and women were visually moved to tears. One 'Nam vet near me said to his friend he'd never been thanked for his service til that moment. To Mike.H, Old Soldier, Lydia, Flomblog, Marine Dad, Alex up in Canada, the men and women who illegally cross our borders to serve in the US Miltary to fight for right and justice (and maybe some college money, citizenship, and a better life) because their armies are too busy killing their own citizens ,and all those who served, but don't bandy it about, I say THANK YOU everyday I wake up in freedom.
BTW, my mother read the whole thing and then sent your link on to a friend that served with my father in Korea in VMF-214 (the Black Sheep squadron). They were operating off of the Sicily, a Jeep Carrier (Jeep Carriers (CVE's) were smaller carriers in WWII that used to ferry aircraft to the larger attack carriers (CVA's). In Korea they took over the job of the attack carriers along the coast of Korea.)
Thank you Leap, Indigo, all I did was float around on a destroyer and I didn't even get to shoot the big guns. In fact they wouldn't let me near any of the guns. They didn't have any guts. :DWow, the turing word is vetaycom.
Still appreciated nonetheless Mike.Just one more link if I may dcat, this was just posted at LGF and it can go so fast there that I wanted to re-post for you to read, if you haven't already. Hee hee Lizards are doing a great job of batting around a fresh troll right now. lolhttp://www.thekidalog.com/seejanemom/2006/11/this_citizens_g.htmlFirst time to her blog.
