Thanks to my Dad for being willing to fly at 60 ft. above Cuba during the '60's so that the U2's could get pictures of the Russian Missile sites...

Thanks to my brother-in-law, Chuck, who is a Marine and served in the show of force off the coast of Cuba in the 60's and guard duty at the US embassy in Morocco also back in the 60's.

THANKS CHUCK!!!

The freedom's we enjoy everyday, and sometimes take for granted, are all due to the sacrifices our veterans have made for us!
Thank You Vet's!

Thanks to all for remembering. I've been out 40 years but some of the memories both good and bad are as vivid as if they happened yesterday. If called today, I would serve again. God Bless America.

Thank God for the men and women who sacrifice everyday to keep us safe and secure, to keep our allies safe, and to ensure that we will remain a free nation.

We are fortunate to live in America, especially in a time of such unrest, but it's only because of our fighting forces, active and retired. These soldiers are truly the best we have to offer. For that I respectfully salute you, today and everyday!

Thank you heroic veterans. We're proud of you!

Thank you, abranger. You are part of the greatest generation this country has produced. If we ever meet, your drinks are on me :)

As the wife of a veteran, and a member of VFW Auxiliary, I hope everyone takes a moment to salute the brave men and women who have served this Country and fought for our freedoms.

I encourage all to attend a local event honoring our veterans and show them support. And don't forget to shake the hand of a veteran and thank them.

God Bless America.

I agree. It was an honor to serve, and it is even a greater honor to be able to live within the freedoms that those who have served and are currently serving fight to protect.

Thank you to all our honored Veterans for their service. A great big Happy 143rd Birthday to the Marine Corp. today. Just a little information today the Christmas Star tree went up at the Grand Rapids Home for Veterans. You can go to the home at the main entrance and take a star from the tree,buy the gift for the resident that is written on the star, Wrap it and return to the home with the star attached all the gifts will be distributed December 24th by volunteers. Great way to say thank you to the vets.

I'd like to thank my Uncle Bob...he served in the Phillippines in WWII
I'd like to thank my Uncle Don who served in Patton's Tank Corps and fought at the Battle of the Bulge
I'd like to thank my Father-in-law who served in the Marines at Iwo Jima
I'd like to thank my Mother-in-law who served as a nurse.
I'd like to thank my Uncle Harvin who was killed on Pork Chop Hill in the Korean Conflict...30 days before the Armistice was signed.
I'd like to thank my Cousin Mark (my Uncle Harvin's son) who retired from the Air Force amd never got to know his father.
I'd like to thank my Cousin Gene who served as a Chaplin during the Vietnam conflict.
I'd like to thank my wife Cindy who retired from the Army Corps of Engineers after 23 years of service.
And I'll take a little tap for myself as I served in the National Guard from '71 to '76.
And also I'd like to thank ALL other veterans for their sacrifices they and their families have made and continue to make to our Country.

Wow! I'll bet story time around the campfire was pretty interesting at your family outings :) You guys did some serious serving! And 23 years in the Army is a sacrifice. Thank you Mr (and Mrs) Wiggley.

I really like that people are telling how and when they and their relatives served.

That's quite a bit of military history in your family. I want to say thank you to your family, as well as all veterans. Nice post.

My husband and I usually fill four or five stars every year, and our VFW and auxiliary always take stars off the Star Tree each year. It is a wonderful way to say thank you.

I encourage everyone to stop by and pick up a star off the tree in the main lobby at the Veterans Home.

Please encourage any Vets that haven't already done so to get interviewed for the "Veterans History Project". Their story will be video taped and sent to the Library of Congress to preserve history. Very worth while project.

This is a good project. I am in the process of working with a veteran for this project. How fun.
