I just wanted to wish all of y'all (& your families too) a most Happy Memorial Day for 2018. I am an 11 year USMC Veteran, & I always do get a bit emotional over the reason that we have this particular holiday, & it's meaning/significance. We STILL (today) all live in the greatest country that there is anywhere on the planet, and a LOT of people have died for us throughout our nation's history for it to continue to be that way. Anyway, have a GREAT day today y'all.

Thanks to @pgjackson @tymoon31 (who I know served in the military) @christopherules and anyone else I missed or didn't know. It is much appreciated by this civilian.
Thank you to all on here who have served.
I appreciate the sacrifice and thankful for the service!
And remember the VA. Demand it be funded and staffed by excellent leaders. Not doing too well.
Thank you to all our Vets and current Service Men and Women!!
@FirePlugDawg Amen sir!
Thanks bud, just remember who this day is really about. I have the fallen 9 of 3/6 I'm drinking for today. Firing up the smoker as soon as the rain lets up enough to get it goin. Everyone have a blessed day and remember those that laid it down on the lines to keep that evil over there and not here. And GO DAWGS!!
Id rather them scrap it and give us private insurance. I use my company insurance instead of going through the incompetentcy of the VA.
May our Almighty God bless them & their families. Semper Fi to you too Devil Dog, & thank you for giving all the rest of us the nickname “Devil Dogs”
They always (as in forever) been a real cluster**** at the VA. Sad. Semper Fi.
Just want to share these names of the warfighters we lost.
@tymoon31 there really aren’t words here. I’m so very sorry for their loss (to their wives, girlfriends, & especially their mothers too, & all of their brother Marines) & I’m getting just a bit too.... must be a lot of dust in this room I’m in here??? My eyes they are a watering. Happy Memorial Day. Have one for Dan Daily, Chesty Puller, & all of these fine individuals here too! (They’d want that, & you KNOW that’s true!) “time for some LIBBO baby!!!
@tymoon31 PS - The Lance Corporal IS the backbone of the Marine Corps!
Absolutely
May I add my best wishes to all who have served, especially to those who didn’t make it home. Glad to be an American!
I’m the guy in the middle, 49.5 Year’s ago in Phu Bai, South Vietnam, clowning around with some of my buds.
Said this in another thread and thought it was fitting here as well.
Fired the Lang up and broke out a 1964 out of remembrance for the service. Got to say I am blessed to be able to do it.
Just a very small reminder of why we're here, able to to post on this board, while living in a FREE Country!!
God Bless Them All!!!
Thanks you for your service brother ppl like you are put on this earth so the rest of us can wake up every morning FREE. The upmost gratitude and respect to you sir.
