Just wanted to send a thank to my fellow vets (past and present) and say this early morning beer is for you. Cheers!
I'll be cracking open a Red Poppy by the Lost Abbey in honor of the 100 year anniversary of WW1. Cheers to all vets!
I'm going to pick up something good to have after work in honor of all the vets, thanks for all you do.
I drank a MO in memoriam to my Grandpa who served in WWII, only seeing a few that were in his company to make it back home with him. Only to receive the gift of Survivor's Guilt. What's worse, to loose your life sparing some. Or surviving wishing that you could've saved more.
Proud to be the grandson of a veteran, the son of a veteran and a veteran myself. Right after work I'm headed to Sheffield's for a proper toast with a Surly "The Devil's Work" porter or two. Cheers!
Grandpa was in WWII, never drank booze, favorite candy was root beer bbls tho, gonna grab a bag after work and see how many i can handle. Cheers and Thanks to all the Veterans
I don't know if you've seen this display outside the Tower of London; each individual poppy represents one of our serviceman killed in WW1
I can remember my grandmother telling us about my grandfather. "when he hear of ******, he join de army. He never spoke too much about it. He come home. So many no come home." I never met him . he died just after I was born but at least he saw me. And I saw him at least once Giovacchino Guidi your claim to fame . . . you enlisted. Cheers veterans.
2nd Anglico, 2nd Marine Division, squeezed in between Nam and the asinine actions in Libya, and Somalia. Cheers to the young men and women today doing the heavy lifting and volunteering for this shit.
My son came home from school today and asked if he could call his grandfather in FL and thank him for his service on Veteran's Day- so we made a family event of it. It truly made his day, and then some! And it also made my wife and myself wonder why we didn't think of that- so if you are in a similar situation, have your kids make that call, it'll mean a lot.
Dad and all uncles were WWII vets...Gramps WWI (Italy)...I did 23+ years in the USAF....Cheers to all past and present vets
Thank you same to you as well. Funny how the Marine Corps was founded in a bar in South Philly, kinda appropriate. Also in rememberence to my Uncle Tony killed in Sicely, my Uncle Danny who was wounded on Iwo Jima, and a shout to my son who's AF doing combat weather for the Army's 10 th Mountain, Afghanastan vet.
