Veterans Day

[Boats]

Veterans Day - How do you define it? It's not really a Happy Day it' s
more than that - in fact just saying Happy with Memorial Day seems
improper.
-
As I recall my service days they weren't really happy ones but rather
it was an honor to serve - for our country when needed. Meaning
I vountered - not drafted. Many of us guys in the neighborhood
signed up [while on TV flower power and drug parties & Peace
signs were happening].
-
It's not a Happy Day ever - our men & women are buried all over
this world in Military graves in lands far from home. I wouldn't call
that happy days.
-
Those were deadly tragic days where Men & Women who've served
- were at times killed or captured and often times torchered.
-
Don't say Happy Veterans Day to Vet's - just say Thanks for Your
Service to our Country. That's all. We Vet's know it's our time
to reflect on those Bud's we all lost - or were severly injured.
-
Put your Flag up on this Day. Reflect on what you have -and the
life you are living with your kids and grandkids.
-
Many Veteran's that were killed - or severly injured - never got that
opportunity to have a family. The Parents of those servicemen and
women who never got to see them get married or have grand-children.
-
Memorial Day must mean more than barbacues - or a day off.
It's the loss of life given by so many - that deserves the respect
of all freedom loving people. Freedom isn't always free and
at times - we forget that - and those draft doggers have to
live with that - as well - (Trump is one of many) - knowing they
may be killed or injured - or just possibly - maybe they could've
made a difference had they particapated in one way or another.
-
Put out your flag - have a barbacue - but - in your mind
just reflect on your position in life - and what you've
accomplished - that our fallen soldier's have given to you.

[John F. Kennedy said; "As we express our gratitude,
we must never forget that the highest appreciation
is not to utter words - but to live by them." - JFK]
