Posted a Happy Birthday yesterday in the Political to you jarheads liltex (my son is one).  I was a dumb dogface and got out late 67.  Had orders to VN but they got cancelled. Only combat I saw was fighting from bar to bar in Colorado Springs.  Lost a MC friend on Hamburger Hill.  He'd played FB in Vidor's only state semi-final appearance.  

To absent companions!

PS.  I was just called Tex in the Army so we practically kinfolks.

Thank you and your families for your service and sacrifice.

[bronco pride]

Thanks to all the veterans that have sacrificed so much. Take one trip downtown to the Debakey and see how our heroes and friends are treated and you will appreciate them even more. 

[spoonbill]

Thanks to all veterans throughout the ages for our freedoms.

[jimmyw]

May God bless our veterans. so many soldiers didn't make it and others  have  battle scars forever for  America. (Our Country) I cannot express enough appreciation for these great Hero's. Thank You!

[ladybug33]

I would like to thank all the veterans for their service in keeping our country safe. I would also like to acknowledge my huubby who is a Vitenam Army Veteran, my father-in- law a career Army Veteran, and all my uncles who served this country proud. I salute you.

In honor of my Father who was in the Army and served in Vietnam and my Mother who was in the Navy and stationed in San Diego.

Thank You to all who served in the past and will serve in the future. Thank you to the families who sacrifice their loved ones, so that we may enjoy freedom and liberty! 

 

My father to this day, has never spoken of Vietnam and would never answer any questions about his time over there. He has scars that tell a story, but Ive never heard it from him.

I hear you, same here My hubby does not like discussing the Vietnam War neither, he spent 2 terms there and he remembers the horrors of this war, what scarfices our citizens make for our country. We should have a month long honoring event for our vets IMO. Thanks for sharing your story.
