Tribute To HEROES

Tribute to Vietnam Veterans....Please click on picture

The great intangible of America's wars beyond logistics, beyond strategy, beyond wonder weapons and Generals, is the spiritual force of its fighting men and women - and that is the force that the USO so serves.

Thank you from all those that frequent the FReeper Canteen to Jim Robinson, Founder of FRee Republic and Navy Veteran.

I can't think of a better person to salute today than you, my dear friend. I have always admired your dedication and patriotism.

From an old sailor --- Semper Fi, Marine.

You caught me by surprise, and I shall try later to submit a proper tribute to my dearest friend, LadyX. I have very pressing matters this morning. In the interim, it is quite simple, she is a REAL lady so close to my heart.

There is no finer example of a Marine and a FReeper than LadyX.

Worth repeating; I sure agree. Great thread Bunny!

Happy anniversary LadyX!

LadyX: It was 50 years ago today that you entered the Marine Corps.
You served proudly, then continued to serve as a military wife.
You raised your children with a sense of pride for their country.
You continue to serve our country in so many different ways.
I am honored to call you Sister and FRiend.
Thank You for your service to our country.

SALUTE

Snow Bunny, what an outstanding tribute.

LadyX, I mostly lurk here but have to say Happy Anniversary and thank you for your service. Obviously you have left quite a legacy by virtue of your family's continued service.

THANK GOD AND DELTA
with apologises to Roy Clark

I've made a good life here, and you belittle it all.
You've shamed me till I feel about one inch tall.
But I thought I knew you, and I hoped you would change,
so I gritted my teeth and didn't complain.

Now you've come to me with a simple goodbye.
You tell me you're leaving, and I don't care why.
We're here at the airport and you're getting on.
And all I can think of is.........

Thank God and Delta you're gone!

Thank God and Delta you're gone!
I didn't know how much longer I could go on,
watching you take the respect out of me,
watching you make a total wreck out of me.
Those big jet engines are playing my song.

Thank God and Delta you're gone!

Thank God and Delta you're gone!
That load on my mind got lighter when you got on.
That shiney old jet is a beautiful sight,
with the black smoke rolling up around the wing lights.
It may sound kinda cruel, but I've been silent too long:

Thank God and Delta you're gone!

Thank God and Delta you're gone!



FREEDOM!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bunny, since you did this as a surprise, may I point out the picture you said was my son Steve (MedProf) is actually another of my grandsons - Kyle.

He is nearly 17, and in April I took him to see where Grandmama was right after turning 18.
I stepped back in time that day, setting a pace that left him quite literally dragging in the dust!!

With my computer meltdown in early May, losing recent pictures of Steve, my older son, I will try to contact him for some to post later today.

For clarification, in the picture when I taught school at Myrtle Beach AFB when I was 33, I am the fourth from the left.
