My motorcycle riding group is going to escort a couple of buses from the Veterans retirement home in Reserve, La. to Walker, La. this Saturday for a Vet's day parade, were they will be honored guests.
I am so looking foward to this. Any chance to show them our appreciation for their service to this Nation is a good thing.

Thanks for all our veterans, past and present. And a special thanks to those who gave the ultimate sacrifice.
Nixon adventures (Vietnam):
474 Tactical Fighter Wing, MMS, Takhli RTAFB Sept-Dec 1972, F-111 Aardvark, Linebacker II
307 Strategic Bomb Wing, MMS, U-Tapao RTAFB May 1973-May 1974, B-52 BUFF, Arc Light
Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a
little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.
Ben Franklin
A veteran - whether active duty, retired, national guard or reserve
is someone who, at one point in their life, signed a blank check
made payable to "The United States of America"
for an amount of "up to and including my life."
That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country
who no longer understand it. -- Author Unknown
If you are an American Christian,
you have two debts you can never repay.
You can be grateful, and give thanks.
To Christ, who died for your soul.
And to the American servicemen,
who died for your freedom. –Mark Tobias
For those that will fight for it, FREEDOM has a flavor the protected shall never know

Your welcome for my time - USMC 1950 - 1954 - Chosen Reservoir in July 1950 - June 1951, 2nd go round, 38th Parallel - March 1952 - August 1952 - evacuated out on a Cargo Plane to the US in a full body cast. Spent 5 months in and out of the Naval Hospital at the Great Lakes. Returned to duty (San Francisco - 100 Harrison St) January 1953 - January 1954. Honorable Discharge January 24, 1954 at San Francisco, then I had to go to work. LOL. Had a great time in the service and wouldn't trade the experience for a Million dollars, special thanks to my dad who gave it all on Iwo Jima in 1945. R.I.P Pop, love you dearly.

Another personal Thank You to all of you vets. I just missed Vietnam and the draft. There didn't seem any reason to enlist at the time. In retrospect, I wish I'd put in a stint.
Dad was a 20 year man. (A Green Beret) I grew up in a military family, largely on base. I saw enough to understand that being in the service is far more than a job that last for x years. I watched those heros as I grew up and realized that the service was even more than a way of life. It altered them down to their very cores, bringing out the best in them, bravery, honor, loyalty, and dedication.
While I thank you for your service, I also thank God for blessing our nation with such people.
Happy Veterans day.
