"It's not the weapons or battles that define a soldier...it's the will of one to fight even to the death for liberation beyond one's self that defines a soldier."

 

My pleasure! One last thing & I'm off my "Soapbox", I do this at work also & am surprised how many immigrants I work with who got their citizenship & also served, have new friends & they appreciate the well wishes & thanks. It's also my way of remembering my father (an Italian immigrant) who serviced in WW2 in the old Burma region & was proud I signed up. My Uncle was retired Navy, go figure why I went Navy!
I went to my cousin's for a July 4th fireworks show & as I do, wearing the ole' squadron ball cap, was thanked by strangers for my service.
I saw a WW2 vet at a train display my club does every year in Long Island & thanked him. The look of appreciation on his face I will never forget. My club does an train display around that week in November in Long Island"s Cradle of Aviation Museum, & I custom painted box cars representing the 5 branches of service (yes, the Coast Guard included, can't forget the Mud Ducks) that I run.
So if you see a ole' vet ball cap let him know how you honor him.
Enough said & GLAD to see our younger vets home safe! My favorite motto is the Marine Corps' SEMPER FI (always faithful)

 

Always proud to have two Army vets at our Thanksgiving and Christmas tables (brother and nephew). Gracias to all.
