My grandfather kept the largest group of American planes in Asia fueled and armed during Vietnam. Called them the "Hammon's Haulers." He gave 25+ years to the Air Force and our country.

It is people like you and all the other service men and women of our armed forces that allow us to live free and have the awsome rights we enjoy everyday. i give you all 2 thumbs up.

In the Native American culture when we always start pow wow's with honoring songs. The first is a flag song to be honor the American flag, the next song is a Veteran's song to honor all of the Veteran's that served to protect our freedom.
I always fly a POW-MIA flag to honor a friend from high school at is still missing in Vietnam.

hmm..its only 11:54 here so I think this counts

Im thankful for my brother who is in the army. He is one helluva little brother and I couldn't as for more. He is always supportive and helpful when I need it. Here is a pic of him with his girlfriend after graduating bootcamp.

Hope I can still get in on this. I'm another former Marine, just ran my first PFT in nearly 20 years today as a part of a challenge with some of my buddies. Here we are when we were 20, defending South Korea against a vicious snowball attack by, well, the South Koreans.

I want to send a big thanks out to all the vets and currently serving folks who have done so much more to keep us safe than my buddies and I ever had to. Those of us who are peacetime vets owe you everything that the average civilian does, plus all the honor that is given to us because of your sacrifice.
