Guest LTC.DentalMav=US= Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 This was brought up within JCS and I think it's a great idea. This is a post, in honor of Memorial Day, to remember all those in our lives that made the ultimate sacrifice and those that paid a big price for our freedom here in the USA. This is for those both fallen and injured in the line of duty. -My Father, a disabled veteran, who served 2 tours in Vietnam and from multiple Gunshot wounds and ran over a mine in a jeep. -To a good friend of mine, SGT Wakelee (RET), who was injured in combat and medically retired/disabled. This is a voluntary thread. You can give as much and as little information as you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest RET.1SG.Maysin=US= Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 My Uncle, Canadian Army Reserves. I know Memorial Day is an American holiday, but i thank any individual who gives up their time, effort and life to the defense of their country and the continued effort to a stable, safe and free global community. So, here's to anyone who has served, is serving or will be serving in the military. My most sincere thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest StubbornOx1 Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Great Grandfather (Both sides of the family) - WWII/Korea - U.S. Army. Grandfather - Vietnam - U.S. Army Great Uncle - Vietnam - U.S. Marine Corps Multiple Cousins - Iraq/Afghanistan - U.S. Air Force/Marine Corps I personally have not served in the military, but as you can probably tell I have had lived closely with a lot of people that have. All of them have suffered from permanent scars-whether it be physically or mentally-and that is something that a lot of people don't quite understand. I know that I could never grasp what they have been through, or what they will go through in the future. What I do know is that I am thankful for every man or woman from around the globe that has ever fought for the betterment of mankind. You have done more than a large majority of the population to make this world a better place. There are no words to truly show how grateful I am of all of you, but I can do my best. Again, I am truly thankful for all of your (your families) sacrifices. I hope you all have a wonderful day, and a fruitful life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
