Post In Rememberance

This is to thank the Veterans that served in the Armed Forces from whatever era you have served in. I would like to thank you for giving some years of your life to defend this GREAT country.
To those still serving; Thank you! Come home soon you are sorely missed, stay safe! 911

I know what you are feeling as I was one you in my youth - USN 1977 - 1981 & USNR 1981 - 1997 Again THANK YOU for volunteering to keep a GREAT NATION, GREAT.

I wish for everyone to feel free (you have that right, ie: 1st Amendment) to express any wishes to a family member or loved one still serving, here in this thread as Nov. 11 will soon be upon us. Give a donation to the USO; they bring a piece home the men & women deployed!!!!

Remember, it's the people that make a nation, not the politics!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank You!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ah the days of 20 on - 4 off, 10 day weeks, nothing but water for as far as the eye, occasionally sand (only because we needed food on the ship) Nuke ships don't like ports. Overboard drills, manning General Quarters for hours, the action on the flight deck!!!! Wake up! Wake up! Yes I do have fond memories of my time in HM-14, Det. Who? (2). Still in touch with some shipmates.
Maybe that's why I like gray. Goose's is almost an exact copy! Chrome trim will really finish off the tailites! Welcome HOME. I gotta find my camera.
Anchors Away & smooth seas to you.
